Uphill Roll – Can objects roll uphill or does gravity always pull objects down? Visitors won’t believe their eyes when you watch how this object moves!
Slap-a-Phone – Sound is made by waves moving through air. Low sounds and high sounds have different wavelengths, making different pitches of noise. Play a tune on the Slap-a-Phone!

And make sure to stop by their “Build a Box City” activity to learn all about what it takes to make your own city!

Code Ninja

Do no miss Code Ninja’s booth as they showcase several AWESOME coding activities and robotic demoes:

1. Coding Challenges for Kids

We will offer hands-on coding challenges, where children can engage with block-based coding tools like Scratch or MakeCode Arcade to create their own mini-games. This interactive activity will introduce them to the basics of programming and problem-solving in a fun and engaging way. Our staff will be on hand to guide participants through the process.

2. Robotics Demonstration

At our booth, we will have small programmable robots like LEGO Mindstorms. These robots will be used to navigate an obstacle course, and attendees will have the opportunity to interact with and even program the robots to complete simple tasks. This activity is a great introduction to the exciting world of robotics and engineering.

3. Minecraft Modding

We will also feature a Minecraft Modding station, where kids can learn to modify the game using simple coding techniques. Using Minecraft Education Edition, participants will have the opportunity to create their own in-game elements, such as custom characters or worlds, while learning the basics of programming and game design.

SCI-FI Science Camps

SCI-FI camps is ready to challenge you with the help of their little Robot Mouse, students will learn the basics of coding. Students will guide the mouse through various challenges by using instructions, directions, numbers and patterns.
