Fun With Computers
|
Basic skills and empowering adventures—for our youngest digital explorers.
Fun With Computers starts kids on the path of creating, not just consuming, digital content – even for kids who may still be learning reading, mouse and keyboard skills. It’s a delightful and enriching first set of computer-science experiences: simple coding puzzles from Code.org; fun projects from Google’s Made With Code, Google Maps and Google Earth; off-line programming games and activities; and, for our slightly older kids, more advanced coding fun using Lightbot or MIT’s Scratch Jr. It’s great fun, and a sweet, gentle introduction to the rich and rewarding world of computer science. Tuition $179. Feb 12 to Apr 1. Scholarships are available.

3D Printing & Modeling
|
3D Printing & Modeling with Autodesk TinkerCAD
Kids love drawing and design in three dimensions in virtual digital space -- especially when they can then use 3D printers to see their vision take shape as a finished object. This class will introduce kids to the basics of 3D modeling and printing, then teach how to use TinkerCAD 3D modeling software from Autodesk, converting images into 3D models, preparing designs for 3D printing, optimizing designs for the print process itself, and even importing 3D designs they’ve created into Minecraft. Through the process of the class, kids complete the creative process from idea to model to graduation: a 3D print of their very own design. Tuition $209. Feb 12 to Apr 1. Scholarships are available.
