Workshops

#1 - INTRO TO COMPUTER SCIENCE
Let’s take a look into human computer interaction and the societal impacts of computing. We will analyze the role computer science and computing devices play in every day life, as well as take a look inside how these devices work.

#2 - THINK LIKE A COMPUTER
Learn how to "Think Like a Computer" as you solve computational problems through engaging, interactive activities. We will simulate a computer science classroom as we learn about problem solving, algorithms, data analysis and more!

#3 - BLOCK-BASED PROGRAMMING
MIT's block-based programming platform, Scratch is the #1 tool for teaching introductory programming and coding! With its "low floor" and "high ceiling", Scratch can be used to create animations, interactive games, slideshows and more!

#4 - ROBOTICS
Learn how computers can control hardware by programing robots. Using a visual programming language, we will learn to not only drive a robot, but also learn to program them to interact with their surroundings using a variety of sensors.

#5 - WEB DESIGN
Did you know that every website on the internet is built on a foundation of HTML and CSS? We will learn how to use these two languages to create web pages.
