Engineering, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship for K-5 Kids
Perfect for kindergarten–5th graders with no STEM experience needed, this event lets kids explore coding, engineering, and more, with mentors guiding them at each station for a fun and creative learning experience.
Hands-On Stations for your Child to Enjoy:
- Hour of Code: Engage in self-guided activities tailored to your coding comfort level. Activities include Scratch Block Programming, which allows you to easily build stories and games using “blocks” of code. You can also play Codecombat, an innovative live coding strategy game for beginners. Learn Python or JavaScript as you defeat ogres, solve mazes, and level up.
- Turing Tumble: a logic puzzle where students work to solve problems using levers and marbles. It helps kids understand computer science concepts without computers! Create your own designs or work through the ‘challenge’ booklet for a little more structure to the play
- Snap Circuits: Learn basic engineering, electronics, and circuitry concepts using Snap Circuits! Snap Circuits use easy-to-connect components to assemble electronic circuits on a simple “rows-and-columns” base grid that you build functions like the printed circuit boards in most electronic products.
- Microscopes: Kids can explore biology up close with a self-guided microscope with over 200 slides.
- Drones: Kids can maneuver drones (with adult supervision) around obstacle courses.
