Upcoming STEM Club Grades 3-6 Year 1

STEM Club: Robotics Adventure (Grades 3-6)

Wednesdays 11:30-12:20  or 5:05-5:55 Jan 15-April 9 (no class March12)

Get ready to explore the exciting world of robots and be a part of something BIG!

What to Expect:

  • Scratch Programming: We’ll begin with Scratch, a visual programming language that makes coding fun and easy to learn. Students will use colorful blocks to create animations, games, and interactive stories, building a strong foundation in programming concepts.
  • Lego Mindstorms: Next, we’ll gear up for the main event by building and programming real robots using Lego Mindstorms! Students will learn how to control motors, use sensors, and bring their robotic creations to life.
  • Two Coding Languages: This club will introduce students to two distinct programming environments. While both use visual elements, the Mindstorms software is specifically designed to control robot hardware and will present unique coding challenges.
  • Robot Parade Extravaganza! Our robotics adventure culminates in the highly anticipated annual Robot Parade! This exciting event is open to the entire community and features a parade of robots  each pulling a unique and imaginative float designed and built by the students themselves! Plan to save Sat, April 12th for the parade.  Check in will be between 10:00-11:00 and the parade will start at 1:00.

The pace of this workshop will be geared to 10-14 year olds.  

Ever dreamed of creating your own video game? Join our fun workshop on June 10-13 and learn how to use Clickteam Fusion, a powerful 2D game engine. We’ll build different games together, exploring cool features like collisions, scoring, and enemies. You’ll personalize your game with unique art, win conditions, and gameplay, making it truly your own!

We’ll be working on a beginning level game, you should design several games at the beginning level before moving to an intermediate game.

Leave the workshop with a working game and the skills to keep creating. You can download the free version here: https://www.clickteam.com/clickteam-fusion-2-5.

Upcoming STEM Club Grades 3-6 Year 2

This class is for those who have been in STEM Club Year 1 and are comfortable with basic programming using a drag and drop language. In this session, we’ll be experimenting with Micro:Bits and adding motors. Our big project will be creating a robot zoo to exhibit on April 12 during the Robot Parade Event. We’ll use the MicroBit to power robotic animals that are built from recyclables and everyday materials. Students will add motors and sensors using the MicroBit.  The animal respond to its enviornment in some way.  For instance, a sound sensor could cause a cat’s tail to move back and forth when the sound level is high.   In addition, students will have the opportunity to build and program a robot for the robot parade using the Lego Mindstorms robots.

Please save Sat, April 12 for the Robot Parade Day.  The parade and Robot Zoo will start at 1:00, but, everyone will need to meet at LabSpace between 10:00 and 12:00 Saturday morning to test their creations.  LabSpace will close at 12 so everyone can have lunch. There will be no testing between 12:00-12:45.

Upcoming LightHouse Fieldtrips to LabSpace

  • K-1 LightHouse Fieldtrip - Private Event
     02/06/2025
     10:00 am CST - 12:00 pm CST
  • Grades 2-4 LightHouse Fieldtrip - Private Event
     02/27/2025
     10:00 am CST - 12:00 pm CST

We’re excited to have you visiting LabSpace!!  On your fieldtrip, we’ll divide into two groups and have 2 activities: we’ll be bringing Legos to life with motors, sensors and programming, sorry the Legos stay at LabSpace,  but we’ll also be  building a fun engineering project you can take home.  We’ll save a few minutes during your trip to explore some of the fun LabSpace activities.

We know that you may have siblings along with you.  We do have activities in the front area of LabSpace that they are welcome to explore.  If you feel they could participate with the group, you are welcome to register them as well.  I would say that an older 4 year old  could participate in the k/1 group with your hands-on help. In the Grades 2-4 group, older siblings would enjoy the activities as well.

Fieldtrips are starting before the mall is officially open.  Please park in the lot between the Car Wash and Ross.  Enter through the mall entrance nearest LabSpace.  All other entrances will be locked.  If no one is at the door to let you in, please call (573) 645-0800 and we’ll be right there. Until the mall officially opens at 11, we all have to be in LabSpace, so family members will have to stay in the space and can’t walk through the mall corridors until  11.

Payment: Tuition is $10 for each participating child.  If this is a financial difficulty, please email me at [email protected].  Please don’t let money be a reason you can’t attend.

Kindergarten-Grade 1:  Feb 6, 2025- 10:00-12:00

Grades 2 – 4: Feb 27, 2025 10:00-12:00
