SUMMARY:CoderDojo with Ignite Consulting
DESCRIPTION:CoderDojo is a free\, hands-on program designed for kids in kindergarten through 5th grade who are curious about STEM. Children can explore a variety of science\, technology\, engineering\, and math-themed stations at their own pace\, with friendly mentors available to help them get started. It’s all about learning through creativity\, curiosity\, and play. More about CoderDojo. \n  \nThis Sessions Special Guest: Ignite Consulting\nJoin Martell and his team as they teach our students about using sensors to water a small gardening plot. Can students program the sensors to water each plant plot? We will find out! \nPlease register for this event so we can adequately prepare. \nShare with a friend or colleague:

SUMMARY:CoderDojo at the Marion Library
DESCRIPTION:CoderDojo is a free\, hands-on program designed for kids in kindergarten through 5th grade who are curious about STEM. Children can explore a variety of science\, technology\, engineering\, and math-themed stations at their own pace\, with friendly mentors available to help them get started. It’s all about learning through creativity\, curiosity\, and play. More about CoderDojo. \n\nHands-On Stations:\n\nHour 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.\nTuring 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\nSnap 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.\nMicroscopes: Kids can explore biology up close with a self-guided microscope with over 200 slides.\nDrones: Kids can maneuver drones (with adult supervision) around obstacle courses.\n\nPlease register for this event so we can adequately prepare. \nShare with a friend or colleague:
