ActiveBuild a Kaleidoscope

  • 05/12/2023 - 06/04/2023
    4:00 pm CDT - 4:45 pm CDT
  • 07/26/2023
    1:00 pm CDT - 1:45 pm CDT

First, we’ll take some time to explore mirrors and reflections.  Can you adjust the mirrors so it looks like your eyes disappear? So that you have four eyes?  Adjust the angle of the mirrors and watch the number of reflections multiply.  What happens to the reflection when a mirrors surface is curved.    Parents, this is a time to explore together with you kids.

Then, we’ll build a kaleidoscope to take home.  Ages 4+ can build this project with adult help.  Ages 8+ can be fairly independent with this build.

Ages 6-8 years old

If your child likes building with Legos and make cool creations from boxes and other “left overs”, this is the camp for them!   We will build a paddle boat, a cardboard grabbers, a moving sculpture and more during the first hour and then, we’ll pull out the new Lego Spike Essentials robotics sets and build and program some  cool projects like a cave car and an artic ride.  We’ll explore motors, sensors and programming.

Parents, we always end on the Lego project of the day so you can take video and pictures of the projects.  Then, we’ll take them apart so we’re ready to build a new project the next day.  The non-Lego creations they make will get to go home with your child.

Activities will be geared for ages 6-8.  If you feel that your older child would benefit, 9 year olds will be welcome.

Limit of 10 Students

  • Tech Mini Camp - Grades 4-6
    06/05/2023
    1:00 pm CDT - 4:00 pm CDT

Join us for 2 afternoons of tech-related projects.  Explore TinkerCAD, a free, online 3D design program.   You’ll create a project online and learn how to design with printing in mind.   Since TinkerCAD is a free program, you’ll be able to continue working with it at home. You’ll be able to choose at least one project to print.  Since prints take a long time, they may not be ready before the end of camp, but you’ll be able to pick them up later.

Then, we’ll build and program some cool vehicles using the Spike Essentials Lego Robotics Sets.  Explore programming for motors and sensors.  You’ll have time to experiment and make the model your own.

You’ll also get to work on a take-home engineering project.

This camp is limited to 8 participants. Tuition for one person is $60, or register with a friend for $110. Please note that the robots will have to stay at LabSpace, but you can take videos and pictures to show off your creations.

    06/28/2023
    1:00 pm CDT - 1:45 pm CDT

 

These are online, live events. LabSpace limits enrollment in this event to 10 to allow for plenty of sharing or ideas and projects.  We encourage questions and interaction during the workshop. Tuition: $7
We’ll explore coding with some hands-on fun and learn about algorithms, debugging, events, loops and more.  We’ll be using a program called Scratch, Jr to introduce coding concepts.  ScratchJr is an introductory programming language that enables young children  to create their own interactive stories and games. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Children can modify characters in the paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves — then use the programming blocks to make their characters come to life.
Please download Scratch, Jr before class.  It is free and available for Android phones and tablets and iPads. It is not available at this time for the iPhone. There is a version for Chromebook, but we haven’t been able to test it.  It is important to have the program downloaded before the workshop begins.  We’re happy to help if you run into any problems.
Each workshop will complete the requirements for that badge. The workshop does not include the badge.  If you need a certificate of completion, please let us know.
