Got kids ages 7-13 who are ready for real robotics? Build BOTS with Kathy Ceceri is based on the book, Bots! Robotics Engineering with Makerspace Activities for Kids. It’s a complete robotics course you can do at home and no expensive kits needed!

The teaching and learning of invention literacy is often locked behind many pre-requisite skills and expensive STEM toys. Scrappy Circuits breaks down these barriers to learning to invent through using a modular system of bricks build by the learner and sourced for commonly found objects.

Take apart a tea light. Get your Connector Brick and some old head phones ready. Queue up your favorite song and listen together.

We will invent our own flashlights to send coded messages, even from far away and in the dark!

These bugs will zip around any smooth surface when in direct sunlight and make a silly clattering sound.

During this session, we will use a few simple components to build a circuit that creates different pitches based on how much light is received by a photoresistor.

Fun with E-Blox Circuit Blox-120 Kit Join Jim Seymour to learn basic circuitry using the Circuit Blox 120 Kit by E-Blox.

Found often in solar garden lights that only turn on when it gets dark, this circuit is surprisingly simple. Follow along to make one yourself.

Make: Origami Paper Circuits Kit - Bring your paper crafts to life!

During this Maker Camp series, you will become NASA rocket scientists and engineers, using these rockets to launch satellites, crew and cargo missions, or supplies to the ISS. A vehicle for kids to have a new era of exploration beyond Earth’s orbit into deep space.

Cranky Contraptions are homemade kinetic toys that produce a variety of motions (up and down, side to side, and more) by turning a wire “crank.” Learners use everyday materials to tinker with ideas about storytelling and mechanical motion and bring whimsical creations to life!

In many ways this brick is the opposite of the Push Switch. The Push Switch turns on by being pressed. The Clothespin Switch turns off by being pressed. When you’re not touching the Clothespin Switch it rests in the on position. If something is pushing on the switch, or inside the mouth, it will be off until that object is removed.

Join us live from the i.lab for Design + Making at the Magellan International School where we’ll be tinkering around with LightLogo, a text-based programming language that encourages open-ended play and experimentation. This is the perfect first project for anyone who’s interested in art, coding, electronics, and microcontrollers.

Make the coolest shades on the block with some simple supplies. Whether you’re looking for a quick hack, an artistic adventure, or an electrical engineering masterpiece, we’ve got you covered.

Make your own PVC Stomp Rocket Launcher with Maker Camp Leader Sandy Roberts! With just $5 worth of PVC, an old 2-liter soda bottle, and your imagination, make this easy to build, portable rocket launcher! Once you’ve built your launcher you can experiment and prototype until you create the perfect rocket for maximum flight height or distance.
