Summary
July 31 - August 3rd, 2023 • 9am – 12pm
Cost: $200 • Ages: 10-14
Full STEAM ahead! In this class, students will be combining art and technology to make their own robotic parade floats. The floats will be built out of common materials like cardboard, paint, and paper and brought to life through coding, motors, lights, and a variety of components.
The class will begin by introducing the robotics kits they will be using: micro:bit and the Reka:bit. We will explore the different components, how to use them, and code them using a block-coding application called MakeCode. Then they’ll learn different cardboard building techniques and mechanisms that can be used for their creations.
They’ll create their own float for the animal parade and program it to follow the parade route on its own.
This is an introductory class. No prior coding or building experience is necessary. To keep the costs of the class down, robotics kits will be provided for use during class time and will be returned to the instructor at the end of the week.
Families are invited to enjoy the parade during our sharing time the last half hour of the class on the final day of the class to view and take photos/videos of student creations.
We recommend students bring their own devices, whether a laptop (PC or Mac), or Chromebook. If they don’t have one, we will have a very limited amount to borrow during class, but you must let us know when you register for the class.
Event Registration is closed.
