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 robotics 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.
Skills Learned:
At MakerKids, our curriculum is second to none. It is built by engineers, entrepreneurs, and graduates of the Singularity University program at NASA. We have been named “Best Kids Workshops” and have a curriculum that will redefine your child’s relationship with technology.
Our instructors are among the best. We use a 7-step vetting process. This includes background checks, multiple reference checks, and extensive technology training.
