About this event

Come join us on Saturday, February 18th & 25th, 2023.

Your girl (ages 8 to 12) can participate in our new online workshop “mBlock: Creating Smart Objects through Code”.

Maybe you own a smart speaker such as Google Home or Alexa at home. How does it work?

In this workshop, you will use mBlock, a block-based language (derived from Scratch), with many extensions to create smart objects that will improve your life at home. This field of computer science is called “the Internet of Things” or IoT. You will use cognitive services, climate data, video sensing, text-to-speech, and translation services to design fun and interactive inventions.

By the end of this workshop, your girl(s) will:

• Understand the basic structures of Scratch programming

• Use conditions and loops to control the flow and outcomes of the program

• Use cognitive services, climate data, video sensing, text-to-speech, and translation services to design fun and interactive inventions.

Please Register Now, Space Is Limited! Registration closes on February 12th, 2023, at 12 pm local time.
