Summary
August 21-24, 2023 • 9am – 12pm
Cost: $200 • Ages: 10-14
Full STEAM ahead! In this class, students will be combining art and technology to make critters (real or imagined) out of common materials like cardboard, paint, and paper and bringing them 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 HummingbirdBit. We will explore the different components, how to use them, and code them using block-coding applications like MakeCode. Then they’ll learn different cardboard building techniques and mechanisms that can be used for their creations.
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 come enjoy the students’ creations 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 the projects.
We recommend students bring their own devices, whether a laptop (PC or Mac), Chromebook, or iPad. If they don’t have one, we will have a limited number available to borrow during class.
Event Registration is closed.
