SUMMARY:Jousting Robots
DESCRIPTION:One part making + one part coding + one part robotics = a whole lot of fun!\n\n\nIn this beginner workshop\, learners age 9 and above will engineer a jousting stick that attaches to a Finch Robot. Participants will be instructed and challenged in a safe and supportive environment to program the Finch to autonomously move and knock a ping pong ball off a cup. Learners will be introduced to the Finch Robot and to programming it with forward\, backward\, and turn blocks using the Snap! programming language while they engage in the engineering process\, collaborate\, and problem solve. \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. Robot Investigations with Finch Robot introduces learners of all ages and skill levels to physical computing.

SUMMARY:More Scratch: Create a Mad Libs® Story
DESCRIPTION:Create an interactive story the Mad Libs® way!\n\n\nIn this fun and engaging workshop\, learners age 9 and above will further their coding skills in Scratch by creating a Mad Libs® story using the coding basics of sequencing\, events\, inputs\, outputs and string manipulation. Not sure what string manipulation is? Then come to the workshop! \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.

SUMMARY:CoderDojoDSM November 2022 Meetup
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. \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.
