A Six Class Series of Sessions 

BlocksCAD is the graphical, engaging, and effective way to teach coding, where the outcome is improved math & computer science skills. No programming experience? No CAD (computer-aided-design) experience? No problem! We have resources to help you learn BlocksCAD, including: A series of Skills Videos on Youtube covering all basic BlocksCAD features, An online BlocksCAD Basics course and Professional development options for schools (both online and in-person).

Learn about tessellations – fascinating mathematical structures made up of repeating patterns, like tiles or honeycomb. See how artist M.C. Escher used them to create dizzying artwork, then learn how to easily make some of your own!

The Rhode Island Computer Museum will present a Workshop call “Robots on the Run”. The workshop aims to explain basic coding and instructions on how to command a simple robot. You will learn programmable electronics, and instructions for making motors run, sounds and a lot more.  We’ll take time to learn about interactive software titled “MBOT Arduino” and you can create your own sample “Robot code”.

If you've are a gadget geek, science nerd, budding engineer or other electronics-obsessed loved one, come run a robot with us. We will end with Robot Wars breaking balloons attached to the MBOTS. 

Recommended age for this class is 10 and up.
