Science
Did you know that everything a computer does is controlled by lines of a special language? This language is called code. Join us on our mission to become coders! First, learn to be a responsible digital citizen and stop cyberbullying in its tracks. Put your persistence to the test as you learn to use loops and events with conditionals in order to code a game of your choice.
Technology
Even though code looks like a foreign language, it’s a language that anyone can pick up with some practice. Meet Dash and Dot, a pair of programmable robots, and learn to communicate with both using digital blocks of code. Teach Dash and Dot to perform a variety of tasks and dances! Meet Ozobot, the tiny robotic ball, and learn to communicate with Ozobot using color. Send Ozobot on a special mission and use color to show him the way!

Take on the look of a programmer! Translate your name into binary code and design a bracelet to showcase it. Learn to use a pixel grid to create your own Minecraft selfie. Appreciate the power of digital animation by creating your own phenakistoscope – the world’s first tool for creating animated images!
Outdoor Fun
Embrace your inner code master! Compete against your peers to decipher a secret message in record time. Construct new songs as you follow the music around the wheel of code. Communicate in code with your team to successfully pass your treasure around the room, and take on the role of human and computer to see which “species” can win the game.
