MONDAY
Silver Knights Robotics Club
2/4 to 4/1 with a make up of 4/8 if needed, 3:25 to 4:25 PM
Club does not meet on 2/18.
Grades 1 - 5
In Robotics Club, we build, code, and have fun with LEGO® WeDo 2.0, a hands-on activity that combines LEGO® bricks, kid-friendly software, and engaging projects which inspire kids to explore the world of robotics! Students use gears, pulleys, and axles to create robots that move, crank, spin, and communicate.
Make LEGO® WeDo 2.0 WheelieBots in this session of Robotics Club. Each week, students build and code a different rolling robot using LEGO® wheels, gears, pulleys, axles, motors and sensors. On your mark, get set, GO! This season's club will feature different projects than last season.

THURSDAY
Silver Knights Coding
1/24 to 3/21 with a make up on 3/28 if needed, 3:25 to 4:25 PM
Club does not meet on 2/14.
Grades 2 - 5
In Silver Knights Coding Club, children learn to create stories, games, and animations using a visual programming language called Scratch. It’s as easy to use as snapping together building blocks! With Scratch, children learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically. Scratch is designed and maintained by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. Our curriculum teaches new coders the basics while challenging more experienced coders to create a wide variety of more complex programs. Silver Knights provides a laptop for every child. At the end of the session, each child takes home a USB with all their programs on it! It will be a progression for returning students.
