Ages 9 to 12 (rising 4th-6th graders)
Send Codey to Mars! An adventure awaits where Codey becomes a rocket, then a spaceship, then a rover once he lands on Mars. Codey Rocky is a treasure trove of fun right out of the box, that plays music, follows light, mimics facial expressions, and much more with simple coding. Turn your imagination into reality! Learn coding skills while playing with this fun robot. These skills can lead into the world of modern technology and give you a competitive edge on a job for the future.
In this course you will:
- Create programs with Scratch coding.
- Control the Codey Rocky as we execute our mission to Mars.
- Learn how programs work and what code does.
- Develop scientific thinking and engineering design skills.
Ages 11 to 13 (rising 6th-8th graders)
Run a hovercraft on the floor, then show off your coding skills by delivering packages! Discover how to customize an app with coding, convert it to a drone, and learn to fly! This entry level drone is versatile, easy to use inside in a gym, hallway, or any room with high ceilings. It is made of modular parts that snap together with magnets. While learning to fly, if it runs into the wall or something, it just breaks apart and then snaps right back together.
In this course you will:
- Create custom control apps with Scratch coding.
- Complete challenges as you control the AirBlock.
- Learn how programs work and what code does.
- Develop logical thinking and engineering design skills.
Ages 10 to 13 (rising 5th-7th graders)
