About this event

Python is one of the most popular and user friendly coding platforms. It is an interpreted, high-level, and general-purpose programming language. Python is often used as a “scripting language” for web applications. Consequently, Python is often used in software applications, pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems, and some games. In this class, students will learn the basics of this incredible coding language. They will learn to design dice simulators, mad libs generators, text-based adventure games, and similar types of projects. They will have learn both a valuable programming language and have a great time in the process!

Minecraft & Circuits for 3rd-6th GradeFrom $910

Minecraft & Circuits for 3rd-6th Grade

Wed, Sep 16 · 4:00 PM

Lincoln Center Robofun · Upper West Side

Students will use the beloved and popular Minecraft platform as a gateway to learning about the properties of electricity. In Minecraft, they will design machines that use pistons, levers, buttons, traps, and combination locks. They do this by using the game’s version of circuitry (called “Redstone”) to power buildings with floors, walls, and doors that open and close. Afterward, they move on to wiring electrical projects such as an alarm box that goes off when opened to an LED magical wand. Students learn principles of circuitry and simple machinery while having fun. Our STEM Education Difference: Our core educational philosophy centers around an intimate interaction with our students. Because we know that each child learns differently and at their own pace, our 'mentors' assess and monitor your child's skill level; each class they take is matched with their skill and interests. Our curriculum and mentors focus on mastering current skills then challenge each student to get to a higher level. Regardless of which class they take, or how many times they have taken it, our students do not repeat previous projects - they are always challenged and when they are ready they work on a new and interesting assignment.

Coding & Game Design for 1st-2nd GradeFrom $910

Coding & Game Design for 1st-2nd Grade

Wed, Sep 16 · 4:00 PM

Lincoln Center Robofun · Upper West Side

Students will design their own video-games using software developed by MIT media lab called Scratch. They will learn to be programmers: use logic, develop and piece together code to make their own games. As they build and move through such games as our “Adventure”, “Maze” and “Platform” games, they will advance their coding skills and increase the complexity of what they’re working on to more and more realistic games. In this class, students often go from being uncertain about what programming is, to being confident about their ability to come up with their own game and design it in a single class. Scratch was developed by Dr. Mitchel Resnick of the MIT Media Lab and associates. Dr. Resnick is one of Robofun’s Board members and trusted advisors.

Spike Robotics for 1st-2nd Grade

Thu, Sep 17 · 4:00 PM

Lincoln Center Robofun · Upper West Side

Robofun uses an advanced Lego robotics system called Spike to teach 1st-2nd graders about lego robotics. Spike combines colorful Lego building, computer hardware with an effective drag and drop coding language based on Scratch to engage students through playful learning activities to solve complex problems and think critically, whatever level they might be at. Spike is a great tool for students to learn STEAM. Robofun has its own series of unique blueprints and activities based in Spike to ensure our students are having fun and developing essential skills for their growth and development.
