Learn to code by programming robots. Kids will have access to many of our programmable robots, including Botley, Dash & Dot, Cue, Ozobo Evo & Bit, LEGO WeDo, LEGO Mindstorms. They will work through fun activities and challenges, to learn how to get their robots to do all kinds of cool stuff.
This club is appropriate for kids in grades pre-K-8. We will give the kids age-appropriate activities to work on during each session of the club.
This club meets on Thursdays, 6-7:30pm. Your child can participate as a member, or you can register for a one-time, drop-in session, if we have room. Registration for both will open in August.
Kids who want to take their problem solving and programming skills to the next level can join or start a competition team (additional fees may apply):
- Wonder League Robotics Competition for grades K-8
- First LEGO League Jr. for grades K-3
- First LEGO League for grade grades 4-8
Competition teams can meet during the club time, but might need additional time for practice, which will be arranged when the team forms. Some teams require additional fees, and some require quite a bit of parent participation. Let us know if your child is interested.
Create amazing animations, tremendous tutorials, legendary “let’s plays,” impressive interviews, top-notch tutorials, and much more. This is a self-paced club, as kids will be working on their own projects, but we will run the kids through the basics at the start of each session, and go a lot more in-depth during the first session of of each month, or whenever the kids feel like they need it.
After kids learn the basics, they will spend their time planning, storyboarding, scripting, practicing, recording, and editing their animations and videos.
This club is appropriate for kids in grades K-8. YouTube Stars & Animators Club meets on Wednesdays, 6-7:30pm, starting October 4.
Important: Some of the videos kids will record might require a Minecraft, Roblox, and/or FortNite account. We cannot create accounts for your child, so after a child plans a video that includes one of those games, we’ll make sure you know which account they might need. Some accounts do require a purchase with the provider of the game.
Each student needs a USB headset with microphone for this class. We very highly recommend this one: http://amzn.to/29e7B72. We know that particular headset works every time with our hardware and software. If you want your child to use a different headset, please make sure it’s USB, and not 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks. Please make sure your child’s headset is clearly labeled with his or her name on it, and bring it to and from class each week.
Does your child love Minecraft? Sign him or her up for our Minecraft Club! Each month we do build challenges around a specific theme. The kids will explore, plan, build, and play. The only pre-requisite is a desire to play Minecraft! We do use the PC version of Minecraft for this class, so kids should have some familiarity with that, or a willingness to learn.
Here is our planned theme schedule, which is subject to change based on feedback from the kids:
- September/October – Haunted Houses & Scary Stories
- November – Thanksgiving
- December/January – Winter Wonderland
- February – Black History Month
- March/April – Immersive Storytelling
- May/June – Fantastic Beasts
This club is appropriate for kids of all ages.
Minecraft Club meets on Wednesdays, 12:30-2pm. Your child can participate as a member, or you can register for a one-time, drop-in session, if we have room. Registration for both will open in August. We do plan on running this club all year.
Important: Participants for this club need a Minecraft: Java Edition account. We cannot create accounts for your kids, but we can help you create one when you bring your child to the office. If your child has an account, make sure he or she knows the username and password. We suggest writing them down for your child, just in case. Parents/guardians should plan to stay for the first 10-15 minutes of the first session, to make sure their kids are able to log in to their Minecraft accounts.
