Learn about what it means to write, debug, and execute computer programs that communicate with different robotic devices. Using the power of code, we’ll turn Sphero SPRK+ robots into Magic 8 Balls, automated Red Light/Green Light games, and the arcade classic Pong. Unruly Splats will become voting machines, relay races, guessing games, or anything else you can think of.

Explore Scratch programming, using the MIT-developed programming interface to craft stories and games. Then we will use Makey Makey boards to invent new ways to interact with the Scratch projects using everyday objects. Our circuitry projects will become musical instruments, video game controllers, pressure sensors, and more. No prior coding experience required.

Explore the building blocks behind AI and smart technology by designing and coding your own electronic projects. Begin with simple circuits, then create interactive, programmable devices using Arduino. Work with LEDs, speakers, motors, and sensors as you use kid-friendly programming tools to make projects respond to data and input. Strengthen problem-solving skills while gaining hands-on experience with electronics and coding.
