Expired Daisy Mechanical Engineering Board Game Design

  •  04/03/2021
     11:00 am CDT - 11:45 am CDT
Tuition: $5
Ready to take on the challenge of designing your own board game? You’ll get to choose your theme, decide on the rules and create and test your game.
This workshop will meet the requirements for the Daisy Mechanical Engineering Badge 1. Materials needed: heavy paper, or recycled cardboard (a frozen pizza box would be perfect), a pencil, markers, colored pencils or crayons, and any other decorations you like. Small toys, rocks, erasers, etc for options to move around the game board or to collect. For instance, my game has a gardening theme, so I’m going to use pumpkin seeds as my object to collect. You’ll also want some extra paper and scissors for creating your characters that will make around the game.
We’ll be making a spinner for our game. For that, you’ll need either a brad, screw, or thumbtack, a paperclip that will spin around the brad, screw or thumbtack and a heavy piece of cardboard to attach it all to.
Looking forward to seeing your creations!

  •  02/16/2021
     12:00 pm CST - 12:50 pm CST
Tuition: $20
Two 50-Minute Workshops
Online via Zoom
We’ll complete the requirements for badge 1 of this series. In our first meeting, well wire a circuit to complete a pressure sensor, explore the sensors on your phone with a free app called Arduino Science Journal, and explore how and why robots are used for many jobs, and touch on what an algorithm is and generate some to to everyday tasks.
In our second session, you’ll program a virtual robot using Scratch. Scratch is a
program developed at MIT to introduce students ages 8-16 to programming. Students will need to sign up for a few Scratch account before class so they can save their progress.
This will complete the requirements for the badge.  The badge is not included.

Expired Brownie Coding for Good Badge 3

  •  01/22/2021
     11:30 am CST - 12:15 pm CST

Tuition: $6

We’ll be taking a look at animation and how pictures can tell a story. We’ll see how an artist creates an animated film and then try our hand at storyboarding a simple story.
After sketching our story, we’ll bring it to life by coding it in Scratch, Jr, the program we’ve been using in our Badge 1 and 2 classes. We’ll have a basic outline for the story, but students will make it their own.
Scratch, Jr is a fun language available free online and was developed for children ages 4-7. You can read more about it here: https://www.scratchjr.org/
Before we meet, download Scratch, Jr to a tablet, iPad or phone. It would be good to have 1 device for Zoom and one for Scratch, Jr. That way, you’ll be able to see the teacher’s screen and follow along.
Badges 1 and 2 should be completed before 3. Badge is not included.
