Get hands-on experience in block coding and JavaScript and build your computational thinking and coding skills while taking on creative challenges. Design paper and fabric circuits that light up and try your hand at stitching together a circuit using conductive thread and LEDs.
What You’ll Learn
- Foundations of electrical circuits, coding and robotics
- Critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills used in the design process
- How to collaborate with peers to share ideas, tackle challenges and learn from one another
