Makerspace Classes
ages four to eight
Little Builders
Challenge students to build and experiment with models of bridges, planes, boats, and more. In this hands-on building class, students learn about new building materials such as cardboard, legos, wood, and up-cycled materials. With iterative design and experimentation, we'll put our creations to the test before returning to the drawing board to make our designs even better. Includes several take home projects!
ages four to nine
Intro to Robotics
Students solve challenges with Sphero Indi and Cubelet robots to learn about coding, engineering, and robotics. Each of these robotic kits are unique in their own way, allowing us to explore different forms of coding and various forms of interaction with each robot and their environment! Through various sensors, components, and some basic coding, we'll solve challenges and create our own robotic designs. No prior coding experience necessary; this is a great class to start a student's coding journey!
