Day Camp: Monday January 20, 2025

Engineering Lab: Sphero littleBits: Invent a Throwing Arm (morning)

Students will use the littleBits Invention Cycle and an understanding of the basics of circuitry, motion and simple machines, to construct a launcher that flings projectiles towards a target. Students will modify their launcher using Bits and other materials to try to make it more powerful or accurate. Results from these trials will be used to create a unique game using their modified launcher. Conclude the activity by hosting a game tournament, where students can explain and share their game, and test out others’ inventions.

Minecraft Education Lab: Corny Code Caper Build Challenge (afternoon)

Step into a lively autumn farm in Minecraft Education where students take on the challenge of designing and building festive structures for a harvest celebration. Navigate a tricky corn maze, pick pumpkins, and use Minecraft Education’s coding tools to rescue Cornelius, a friendly scarecrow in need. This engaging experience blends seasonal fun with creative problem-solving while students sharpen their coding skills through immersive challenges and festive builds. This lab promises a mix of educational fun, with free time at the end of each class for further exploration and creativity.
