Jr. Robotics + Mechanical Engineering
Two Hands on Engineering classes in one: Robotics + Civil engineering. This Civil engineering activities is centered on exploring the concepts of building and construction through hands-on exploration and design. Students explore the engineering behind skyscrapers, bridges, roads, tunnels and more in this fun and engaging experience. These Robotics/Coding activities area a perfect mixture of fun and learning. Using Robotics, students learn how to program and operate their creation robots by using a laptop computer.

Coding & Game Design: Tower Defense Game
Our castle is being invaded by a neighboring kingdom! In Electronic Game Design: Tower Defense- Medieval Invaders, we will create our own version of a tower defense game, set in a far off medieval kingdom under siege by an army of knights! We will use the Engineering Design process to create a storyboard to outline the rules of play and characters for our game. Then, we will use Clickteam Fusion 2.5 to bring our storyboard to life with programming. At the end of class, everyone takes home a working Windows-compatible game.
Ages: 7-12
