Video games are on our phones, our computers,and our watches; they’re everywhere! Playing video games is pretty cool, but have you ever thought about how the games you already love actually work, and how you could build one? We can show you how! You will learn how to design, build, and create your own video game using Scratch. Scratch is a popular introductory programming language made by MIT that uses building blocks of code that fit together to create a program, with no complicated spelling or grammar to worry about. At the end of this program, you will understand how games work, having learned and used core programming concepts to work on your own awesome game.

Wednesday & Thursday – Robotics Using Arduino
Do you like building things and understanding how they work? Are you interested in learning about electronics and computer programming? In Robotics Inventions you will use an Arduino and learn how to code. An Arduino is a micro-controller, a small computer used as the brain of the robot which can be programmed to control the way buttons, motors, switches, sensors, lights, and other electronic parts interact.

Friday – Advanced Minecraft
