Junior Roboticists - Girls + Code - Coding & Programming


*The event has already taken place on this date: Mon, 08/09/2021
There are lots of languages to learn, but have you ever thought about trying to communicate with a computer? Programming languages are a way for us to give instructions and get information from our computers. Writing code is applied everywhere from website design, video games, and configuring a robot’s “brain”. Campers will get the chance to code different robots, design jewelry with hidden binary messages, and take turns designing code for each other to accomplish tasks.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

This series will help to introduce participants to the varied and ever-evolving world of robotics. We will discuss and review what they are and why we use them, before learning about a particular aspect of robots, and their role in helping the entire system. This then culminates into a short craft and in-depth activity to solidify and inspire their future endeavors in the field.

Each day will start with an introduction to robotics to help define and set up a basic foundational understanding (ex. What is a robot? What makes a robot? Why do we build them? etc.) This will then lead to one of four topics depending on the day.

  1. August 2 - Junior Roboticists - Girls of Steel - Understanding Robotics
  2. August 3 - Junior Roboticists - Engineering Design - Exploring Circuits
  3. August 9 - Junior Roboticists - Girls + Code - Coding & Programming
  4. August 10 - Junior Roboticists - Robots in our Life - Movement & Mechanisms

We will also highlight females in STEM each day, related to the topic at hand and/or are involved with robotics.

Geared towards grades 3rd - 5th.
