Circuit Fun with Snap Circuits - Holiday Specials
- Grades 2-8
Join Holidays Specials to have fun, learn, and for a chance to win a Snap Circuit Green Energy Set.
They are in your phone, and they are in your car. They light up your house, and they run roller coasters. What are they? They're electronic circuits and they're everywhere!
In this fun free online event series, your child will learn the basics of electronic circuits using Snap Circuits. We will build several fun projects each time, while learning what a circuit is, how circuits work, nd how to add more parts in a circuit to make sounds, light, and more! They will also learn sensors and advanced content such as integrated circuits.
Holiday Special - We will be running a series of 4 events this holiday season and each event covers a different topic! Participants will get a chance to win a brand new Snap Circuit Green Energy Set. You must attend the event to be entered to win (just signing up classes does not qualify). Each time you attend this event series, you get one entry to win, so join all four to maximize your chance! Winner will be announced at the end of the series in mid January.
Holiday Special Series
Dec. 9th - Resistors
Dec. 27th - Integrated Circuits 1
Dec. 30th - Sensors
Jan. 5th - Integrated Circuits 2
Note, once you sign up, you will be added to the entire series, so you only need to enroll once.
- 60 minutesSingle Session
- 2-249 students group class
- Your child will have a much better experience if you have a SNAP CIRCUITS® JR set or above. You can get a set at Amazon for ~$20 when it is on sale for the most basic model. However, having a set is not required. Your children are welcome to join, observe, and learn, as we also cover general engineering topics.
Python Project Building Meetup - Hour of Code Event
- Grades 1-6
Join other enthused fellow young coders to build some fun Python projects together. We will start with doing a couple of projects on the Python Skill Builder, including one that is typically not freely available We will then move on to create fun project ideas contributed by students. We will learn from each other and have fun!
Projects will focused on the most fundamental concepts of Python. If you have not done Python already, join our Python for AI Free Intro classes to learn the basics. To get the most out of this evecnt, you will need to have completed Python for AI Unit 1.
Secret of Creating Roblox Robot Champions Game
- Grades 3-12
Does your child love robotics or building things? Try out Robot Champions, a fun and powerful Roblox game launched recently by Filament Games in collaboration with First Robotics. Players can customize or build virtual robots from scratch with parts like \🏁 Motors 🚘 Wheels and 🔩 Pistons, then take the bots to compete with friends to earn medals in multiplayer matchups such as ⚽ RoboCo Polo ⚽ , 🛹 Skatepark Scramble 🛹 , 🧀 Parmesan Pipeline 🧀 , and more! Your child will learn about robotics along the way.
We are excited to host Dan White, who heads up Filament Games to share insider views of this fun and stimulating game, and what it takes to build a game like this.
