Coding
Grades 3-5 & 6-8
Kids will learn everything they need to know to code their very own game: character development, storyboarding, animation, environment and level design, beta testing and, of course, coding.
Skills Learned:
Minecraft
Grades 1-2, 3-5 & 6-8
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:
Robotics
Grades 3-5 & 6-8
Kids use online robotics simulator technology to learn how to make electronic creations that they previously only dreamed of. Wire up circuits, make lights light up, design solutions to real-world problems, learn about a variety of electromagnetic concepts, and code a ‘robot brain’ to make something awesome.
Skills Learned:
Mini Makers
Grades 1-2
Mini Makers introduces kids in grades 1 and 2 to our core technology topics: Coding and Robotics. They will design their own video games, create robotic inventions, do design and experimentation, and more.
Skills Learned:
Real-World Technical Skills
Kids learn industry-leading technologies, equipping them for high-earning careers of the future.
Putting Projects into Practice
Kids don’t just learn programming concepts – they get to use them to make real projects like games.
Confidence & Social Skills
Embedded in all our programs are social skill lessons, and the chance for kids to socialize with like-minded peers.
A Positive Approach to Tech
We want every child to leave MakerKids with the belief that they can use technology to shape the world around them.
Mini Makers Programs
Coding is an important language to learn. With the demand for STEM workers continuing to increase, learning coding from an early age is a sure way to gain an advantage in today’s competitive career world. Kids code games, websites and more. They learn how computers work, exercise creativity by coming up with ideas for how their project will look and feel, and build resilience and perseverance when trouble-shooting their code.
Skills Learned: Resilience, Confidence, Internet Safety, Logic, Game Design, Beta-Testing
Kids can start at a level at any time. They will advance to the next level once they have finished all the activities at their current level.
Minecraft Programs
In our Minecraft programs, kids learn how to make Minecraft even more awesome, how computers and servers work, and core computer programming concepts while collaborating with kids equally excited about Minecraft.
We use the incredibly popular game Minecraft (now a mandatory school subject in parts of Europe) as a medium to help kids build transferable skills such as coding, electronics, 3D design, servers, and more. 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. Kids build amazing digital creations.
Skills Learned: Social Skills, Patience, Communication, Teamwork, Problem-Solving, Coding, 3D Design
Kids can start into a level at anytime. They will advance to the next level once they have finished all the activities in their current level.
