Treobytes

Our presentation will promote our after school program, and the different courses we provide. Our facilitators will be there to explain and showcase which programs we offer. We will have two of our Globase2 computers which are part of our computer build curriculum. Kids and parent will have the opportunity to build parts of the Globase2, and answer question about software and hardware. The second Globase will have a monitor which will have Scratch open, and kids will be able to block code.

Thrive Public Schools, Team Hypernova

Mrs. Kristina H. Watkins leads her 7th grade STEM class from Thrive Public Schools through the Universe with the help of Big History Project. Students created murals, models and Minecraft manipulations of games synthesizing content. Team Hypernova collaborated to design, code and build portals to mini Minecraft games that will take players through fun and exciting playable challenges covering 13.8 billion years of time: The Big Bang Theory, Stars, Solar System, Earth and Life!

Viasat

Students will build their own game controller using a Makey Makey and conductive materials and use it to play a Minecraft-inspired racing game. Next, students will have the option to use MIT's Scratch drag-and-drop programming language to code their own version of the game.
