Grades 1-2: MiniMakers (In-Person BLOOR) - 1 hour
1 hour program for makers going into grade 1-2. Focuses on foundational computer skills through Coding, Robotics and Minecraft projects. No previous experience needed.
Welcome Mini-Makers! This program is designed for little ones who like to think big. Kids will be exposed to both technical and 21st-century skills along with creativity and confidence. Based on STEM foundations like logic and design, kids will develop imaginative thinking, coding ability and harness the power of computers.
Kids will apply concepts using block-based coding and pre-built robotics and touch on all our three core topics: coding, robotics and Minecraft. Kids will create, experiment, adjust and retry. The fundamentals of electricity, energy, and programming (how computers think) will be covered in fun ways that kids get to see in action!
Skills learned: design, the design process, problem-solving and planning. Moreover, they will begin to grasp the fundamentals of coding such as loops, sequencing, branching and selection while having fun
