Coding your own video game pushes kids to explore different possibilities and scenarios. Kids will create their own games and play other kids\u2019 games too!<\/p>\n
Video Game Coding: Arcade Games<\/strong>
\nWorking in Scratch\u2019s block based coding environment, kids follow along programming and customizing their very own arcade video game. Once their game is fully functional, more experienced makers have the chance to keep on adding an endless array of features or even design their own.<\/p>\nSkills Learned:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Minecraft Multiplayer: Zoo Keepers (Gr. 1-2, or 3+)<\/strong>
\nKids work together to design a zoo, build the appropriate environments, populate it with creatures, and outfit it with some redstone automation.<\/p>\nMinecraft Multiplayer: Amusement Park (Gr. 5+)<\/strong>
\nUsing World Edit plugin commands and redstone circuitry, kids design, build, and get to enjoy all the activities you would find at a theme park.<\/p>\nSkills Learned: <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

They can create their own robotic invention and make it light up.<\/p>\n
Robotics: Virtual Robotic Pets (Gr. 1-2 or 3+)<\/strong>
\nUsing the Microbit microcontroller, kids learn the basics of controlling electricity while making robots into their own interactive pets. For more experienced makers the functionality they can add to what their pet can do grows increasingly complex.<\/p>\nRobotics: Virtual Light Show (Gr. 5+)<\/strong>
\nThe Arduino is a prototyping microcontroller popular with both hobbyists and professionals. Kids learn to use a breadboard to wire up circuitry the TinkerCAD Arduino can connect to, and then to program their robot to interact with their lights and switches creating their very own customized light show.<\/p>\nSkills Learned:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
