SUMMARY:Ready. Set. Robot!
DESCRIPTION:An introduction to robotics with the BBC micro:bit\n\n\nWhile we may cringe at the thought of self-driving cars\, the reality of robots is upon us. From applications in agriculture and manufacturing to healthcare\, military and public safety\, robots are used in many industries and the applications aren’t slowing down. Ready Set Robot! is an enrichment experience for youth age 9 and above to learn the basics of robotics. In this fun\, hands-on workshop\, students receive a brief overview of robotics and then spend time programming a robot in a safe and supportive environment. \n\nLearners who have completed Hour of Code or worked some in Scratch will find this topic to be a great next step in their learning journey.\nNo coding experience is necessary but comfort with a keyboard and mouse is required.\nA parent or guardian is required to complete the registration process and learners under the age of 13 require a parent or guardian to be present during the workshop.\nPlease review our program policies before registering.\n\nNOTE: If you need to cancel a reservation\, please contact us so the reservation may be made available to someone else. \nTo learn more\, visit techjourney.org/techtime. \nThis workshop is made possible through a 2022-2023 STEM Scale-Up Program award from the Iowa Governor’s STEM Advisory Council. Computational Thinking in Action with micro:bit helps students understand the power of computer science and how things work by seeing their projects come to life using a micro:bit controller.

SUMMARY:CoderDojoDSM October 2022 Meetup with C3 Robotics
DESCRIPTION:Register for this meetup via Eventbrite!\n\n\nEach month at CoderDojoDSM\, students age 9+ work on coding\, building a website\, creating an app or game\, building or programming a robot\, or simply exploring technology in a less-structured\, creative\, and social environment. There is no group instruction. Rather\, local professional technologists serving as volunteer mentors help students as they work on projects of their choice. \nCompletely new to coding? No problem. We’ll have tutorials and ideas students can pick from to start their own project. CoderDojoDSM is free and students of all skill levels are welcome. \nThis month we’ll have a special visit from C3 Robotics\, a local high school robotics club which competes in FIRST Tech Challenge. \n\nA parent or guardian is required to complete the registration process. Youth under the age of 13 require a parent or guardian to be present during the meetup.\nWhen registering\, please select the appropriate ticket which tells us if the student will be bringing his/her own laptop computer or would like to reserve and use one of our computers.\nAll skillsets are welcome! Those with advanced knowledge will be assisted in creating more advanced projects.\nPlease review our CoderDojoDSM Program Policy and Health & Safety Action Plan before registering.\n\nNOTE: If you need to cancel a reservation\, please contact us so the reservation may be made available to someone else.

SUMMARY:More Scratch: Create a Ghost Catcher Game
DESCRIPTION:Just in time for Halloween: a ghost busters game!\n\n\nIn this fun and timely workshop for Halloween\, learners age 9 and above will further their coding skills by creating a ghost catcher clicking game. Using coding basics of sequencing\, events\, randomness and variables\, learners will have fun creating a project that advances their coding skills and use of Scratch. \n\nPrior Scratch or block-based coding experience is required.\nA Scratch account is not required but recommended for students who want to save their programs.\nA parent or guardian is required to complete the registration process and learners under the age of 13 require a parent or guardian to be present during the workshop.\nPlease review our program policies before registering.\n\nNOTE: If you need to cancel a reservation\, please contact us so the reservation may be made available to someone else. \nTo learn more\, visit techjourney.org/techtime. \nDeveloped and maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Scratch is a great way for students to learn introductory coding. Not only is Scratch fun\, but by using blocks (think digital LEGOs®) instead of text\, emphasis is placed on learning coding fundamentals rather than worrying about the syntax of a programming language. Scratch also brings together communities of content creators by allowing Scratchers to share their work\, remix and learn from others.
