Makey Makey:

Learn the basics of electricity and build a game controller, piano, and dance floor out of everyday materials. Students will use their creation and try to complete a simple video game. They will also compare their creation with their classmates and determine why some work better than others.

Basic Electronics with Arduino:

Students experiment with electronics. Using multiple types of sensors, they will learn about electronics using Arduino’s.

Scratch Introduction to Coding:

Learn basic coding principals with Scratch. Kids will learn coding concepts with Scratch and visual tools, then move on to create computer games with Python.

Creating with Arduino, Real World Engineering:

Students will experiment with electronics by using Arduino’s and sensors to monitor and interact with the world around them.  By using computers, they will learn to record and cause events to trigger based on the sensor's readings and build simple bi-ped robots with Arduino. Students will plan, build, and test bi-ped robots and attempt to complete challenges such as navigation with their creations. Build and run a quadruped (4-legged) robot within the Arduino. Students will plan, build, and test out their quadruped’s – this is an advanced build. Teams will compete to see whose creations can complete navigation challenges.

Python an Introduction to Coding:

Children will learn basic coding principals and concepts with Python and then move on to create computer games with Python. They will be taught the basics of programming: planning, coding, testing and debugging. Through a series of computer games, the students will progress their skills and challenge each other to be more creative.

Python Programming for Fun:

Program in Python for fun and develop a game! Participants will pick from a variety of games, plan their code, build a game, test it and share with classmates.

Creating and Prototyping, Basic Robotic Design and Builds:

Students will plan, build, and complete challenges with Lego Robotics. This will entail designing, modifying, and challenging themselves with completing working robots with Lego. Students will also plan, build, and program their robots to complete challenges and teams will complete to see who’s design complete tasks the best. It will also involve understanding the basic concepts of electricity and engineering. Students will create machines and control them with hardware and software of their design. 

Building Your First Robot, with Arduino and Raspberry Pi:

Learn about Robotics with Arduino. Plan, build, and complete challenges with electronics.  Kids will design, modify, and challenge themselves with completing working robots with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. 

Roblox Game Development:

Learn how to code.  Writing software programs in Roblox’s Lua coding language.  Create accessories such as hats, shirts, and pants.  Create complex structures and machinery and interact with them.  Learn how to share your creations with friends.
