Build a cardboard friend and bring it to life with code! Kids ages 10+ explore Micro:bits, AI, and sensors in this whimsical, hands-on workshop. Perfect for young makers and future engineers!

Give your imagination a "brain!" In this whimsical, hands-on workshop, kids ages 10+ will transform simple cardboard and craft materials into their very own "Very Useful Monster."

But this isn't just a craft project—it’s a deep dive into the world of physical computing!

What your young maker will do:

  • Design & Build: Use cardboard and crafts to give their monster a unique personality.
  • Code with Micro:bits: Learn how to program "brains" for their creations using easy-to-learn coding blocks.
  • Explore Tech: Go beyond the basics! We’ll experiment with light sensors, buttons, radio communication, and even the basics of AI.

From making a monster "feel" emotions to teaching it how to talk to other robots, your child will build a strong foundation in computer science while playing.

This is a special two-part workshop series designed to take your maker skills from 'zero to hero!' To get the full experience and bring your monster to life, please ensure you sign up for both sessions.

We will be taking a scheduled break for refreshments during each session to recharge our creative batteries.

No prior coding experience is required—just bring your imagination!
