Launch Clubs & Workshops

This is where kids get in the game! In this ongoing club, children learn to design and program their very own video games and animations! Video game programming is a great way for kids to creatively utilize real world math skills such as graphing and working with variables while engaging in active storytelling and artistic digital design. Using MIT's fun and dynamic Scratch programming language, club members learn to draw, write, graph and program anything they can imagine into a real, playable game or animation.

No previous game design experience is necessary. Kids attend the programming club for 1.5 hours during set club times.

Robots, Rockets & Electronics

Ages: 6-8

In this do-it-yourself workshop kids learn about building robots and rockets and electronics, and they also make their very own models to take home! Children wire simple circuits to create burglar alarms, they use corrugated boxes to design crafty Garbage-Bots, and they join balsa wood with glue to build their very own model airplanes. Each session of the workshop brings a new surprise project! This 10-week workshop consists of 1.5 hour weekly scheduled sessions.
