Coding: They will learn everything they need to know to code their very own game: character development, animation, environment and level design, beta testing and, of course, coding!
Robotics: Kids use online robotics simulator technology to learn how to make electronic creations that they previously only dreamed of. Wire up circuits, make virtual lights light up, design solutions to real-world problems, learn about a variety of electromagnetic concepts, and code a virtual ‘robot brain’ to make something awesome.
Minecraft: We leverage kids’ interest in Minecraft as a gateway to introduce them to other STEM topics such as Robotics and Coding. Minecraft is also a great medium for teaching positive netizen skills and communication skills.
Skills learned: Coding, Electricity, Robotics, Microbit, Arduino, Team work, Trouble-shooting, Design, Math
Grades 3-5 & 6-8
The Idea Incubator program at MakerKids allows kids to learn about and develop projects in Coding, Robotics, and Minecraft! Classes rotate between these three topics, using a multidisciplinary approach to draw connections between topics in class and the world around us.
