Coding Club teaches students how to make computer games, tell digital stories or make Android Apps. All levels, from absolute beginners to experts, are welcome. The activity uses Scratch and MIT APP Inventor to create and collaborate, while learning some real coding tools.
In Robotics, students will learn engineering skills needed to design, build and code a robot that can complete a set of tasks. Working in teams, students will assemble hardware and code their robot using Java programming language. They will have an opportunity to design a custom add-on piece for their robot and then participate in an in-class challenge.
