The Science Museum of Minnesota teamed up with St. Catherine University and Metropolitan State University and received a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The project is called LinCT (Linking Educators, Youth, and Learners in Computational Thinking). The Science Museum has hired Two female Education Students from St. Kate’s and Three female Education Students from Metro State. Those students will be teamed up with some high schoolers and teach the technology camps during the summer to students between 6-13 years old. There are still some spots open for these technology classes which can be located at https://www.smm.org/classes
Some of these classes are: Design a Computer Game: (9-12) LNDSG0627 Build your own interactive game or story using programming software from the MIT Media Lab called Scratch. Select a theme, write a story, build an environment, create characters, and add puzzles and sound effects. Design a Smart Boat House:(9-12) LNDSH0627 Create a high-tech dream houseboat of the future. Using handheld computers and recycled materials, build and design a mini houseboat that responds to the world around it. Add sound and motor power, and take your boat sailing before you bring it home Super Scratch: (6-8) LXSUS0620 Create your own simple interactive animations, learn the basics of computer programming, and design a simple computer game using newly developed Scratch Junior. Create your own board game as you discover basic programming principles. Scratch Game Masters: (9-12) LNSGM0725 Advance your Scratch 2.0 computer game making skills as you power up, make your own blocks, and use the camera to control the game with your body. Great as a follow up to our popular Design a Computer Game class. Access your game online and play later. *Prior Scratch experience is recommended. Comments are closed.
