CLASS DESCRIPTION

Electronics with Minecraft Redstone

Using Minecraft’s Redstone blocks, students learn and build electronic circuits to act autonomously  or in response to player activation. Students create devices with simple to complex mechanisms such as light switches, traps, elevators, and automatic farms to take Minecraft to a next level.

Coding and Game Design with Tynker

Learn to code using Tynker’s own visual programming language, featuring visual drag-n-drop logic blocks that eliminate the need to understand programming syntax. Young programmers learn to design and code their own games and apps using extensive media gallery and physics engine.

While developing games and apps, they will learn programming concepts like variables, loops, conditional statements, event handling and simulate physics concepts like gravity, force, impulse, angular velocity, and more complex movements and interactions.

Hands on Engineering

In our Engineering section, students explore different fields of Engineering with a passion for creativity and tinkering. Students build Engineering toys and models while learning various Engineering laws and principles which they see and experience on a daily basis. They also get to take home their creation after every class.

Camp Details

Drop-off for campers is from 8:30 to 9 a.m. and pick-up is from 3:30 to 4:00 p.m.

Extended care is provided from 4:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. If your camper requires extended care, please sign up online.

Please be punctual when picking your camper up at the end of the day. There will be a fee of $1 per minute until the child is picked up.

A nut-free lunch must be brought from home. We also have break time for morning and afternoon snack, so please pack accordingly, and consider also sending a water bottle with your camper. We are happy to fill it for them!

During our break times, electronics are permitted. They are the camper’s responsibility. Kids STEM Studio is not responsible if it becomes lost or damaged.
