Code, Play, Learn - Makers Class
Supervisor: Amanda Heiman
Code Play Learn is excited to offer PDOP our Maker
Class for kids. Each week students will make a
project they can bring home. Our hands-on project
approach allows kids to develop an understanding
of how motors, circuits and energy work while
building contraptions like an ArtBot, Lantern, and
Zipline Rocket Ship. We will also create projects
using our 3D carver from Inventables. Using Easel,
an image based soware design tool, students can
easily create designs that we can cut right in front
of their eyes.
Program is being held at:
