THURSDAYS 2:30 – 4:00 pm. June 15 – August 3
Who will win? Trick Question. You do… when you build, play and explore with either or both of our digital & analog activities designed for creative learning. Some activities will even send you home with an item you made yourself! This a self-directed program. Please register using the links below
June 15 – OzoBots & Button Making: Don’t be bozos, come play with these Ozo’s! Join us for a colorful edition of the Digital v. Analog Showdown where we will draw patterns for our OzoBot robots to interpret and make buttons you can wear all summer!
June 22 – Cubetto Robots & Perler Beads: This week in the showdown the theme will be putting things together whether in a logical sequence or for art. With the Cubetto robots we’ll practice coding principles and with the perler beads we’ll melt beads together to make wonderful designs.
June 29 – Sphero & Magna Tiles/LEGOs: Let the Spheros be your heroes this week in the Digital v. Analog Showdown! Zip, zap, and zoom around the room with these speedy Sphero robots. You may even want to build a maze out of LEGOs and Magna Tiles for you and your Sphero to conquer!
July 6 – Beebots & Bitmojis: Hello Bees! These Beebots don’t sting but instead bring you fun! Program them to move in specific patterns as a coding practice. Additionally, we’ll bring out a bunch of Bitmojis so we can practice our sequencing talents through storytelling!
July 13 – Botleys & Modeling Clays/Pom-Pom Kits: Botley listens, Botley does, Botleys do this just because! Instruct our Botley robots to follow a map or simply make them act silly for our amusement. We can even dress them up with modeling clays or give them Pom-Pom wigs!
July 20 – littleBits & Geodesic Dome: Here’s a little bit of fun for ya… or more likely a lot a fun! This week we’ll be designing circuits with gadgets built in them for our digital activity, the littleBits STEAM set, and crafting a geodesic dome as our analog challenge.
July 27 – Turing Tables & Binary Bracelets: Turing Tables teach us the logic of I.T. through a series of games that challenge us to put marbles through a maze in a precise order with each round getting more difficult than the next. We’ll also make bracelets using the binary language patterns. Best wear your computer science boots for this one!
August 3 – Super Mario Maker 2 & Cardboard Kits: It’s a meee, a Mario! Help Mario and Luigi build a video game level or complete one we’ll have ready on the Nintendo Switch in Super Mario Maker 2. Building on that theme is more building activities! Craft up something fun with our cardboard kits in this week’s edition of the showdown.
