Clubs

Descriptions for our clubs are listed below. Each club is run over a period of days or weeks, and most include 10-20 hours of total instructional time. You can enroll your child in a club on our Registration page.

Code Warriors

Students will learn basic programming concepts such as:

  • Algorithms
  • Sequences
  • Repetition (Loops)

We will use both online and offline methods to teach the concepts, so children won’t spend the whole time poking away at a computer.

Gamer Club

Let’s play some games! Gamer Club will allow children to explore the world of gaming, including computer, console, card, board, and just about any other kind of game they can imagine. Plus we’ll use those imaginations to design our own games. Depending on the length of the club your child attends, he or she will have the choice of creating one or all of the following:

  • Active game
  • Card game
  • Board game
  • Computer game

Does your kid love to tinker? This club is all about tech-influenced DIY and crafting. We’ll explore topics such as:

  • 3D Design and Printing
  • Simple Machines

  • Robotics
  • Wearable Technology

Kids will “make” some cool stuff that they can take home.

Minecraft Mania

Are your kids talking non-stop about creepers, mooshrooms, and The Enderman? Is Steve their new BFF? Minecraft  is a great way for kids to get creative and work collaboratively. We’ll not only play on a local server, but kids will run quests and play offline games to earn blocks to build a “real world” map.

  • Create a site outline and map
  • Safely research a topic using online sources
