SUMMARY:CoderDojo with Matthew 25
DESCRIPTION:CoderDojo is a free program for kids from kindergarten to 5th grade.\n\nChildren can freely explore any STEM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, & Mathematics) themed stations\, with mentors available to help them get started\, allowing your child to learn and explore on their own. \nMatthew 25  Urban Farm and Education \nKendal of Matthew 25’s Urban Farm and Education programming will guide students on creating seed bombs. Seed bombs are spherical objects made of dirt and seeds that can be thrown onto land to grow vegetation. Students will be encouraged to take the seed bombs with them to plant somewhere in the community. We will also encourage them to document where they planted them so we can create a digital map to track the seeds progress throughout the year.  \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\n  \nIf you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this event\, please contact Community Programs Manager Melissa Silver at 319-214-5646 or melissa@newbo.co. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. \nPrograms like this happen because of sponsorships and generous donations from YOU\, thank you! \nDonate to support K12 STEM Education \n  \nPlease register for this event\, so we can adequately prepare! \n  \nShare with a friend or colleague:
