The Makers Play Lab Summer Program offers a series of workshops for young makers to Play, Design, Code + Create in the January Holidays! About this Event During the three stand alone workshops, makers will develop problem solving skills and creative confidence as they explore advanced STEAM (Science. Technology. Engineering. Art. Maths) concepts through hands-on design and digital challenges. Advanced coders will be offered challenging projects to meet their skill set. The projects on offer change each workshop to avoid repeat for makers who have attended before. Age Suitability: Children aged between 5 - 13 Makers Play Lab facilitators are qualified teachers who will differentiate the project skill level based on the diverse learning needs of the children. Workshop numbers are capped at 12 children with 2 adults to ensure quality learning experiences and one on one assistance as needed. Time: 10:30am - 3.30pm Drop off: Parents are to bring children into the Green Square library and through to the Tower, you can drop off and collect children to the following locations listed below. Signing in and out is required each day and parents are not required to stay for the duration of the workshop. Parking: There is fifteen minute parking on the plaza outside the library (or 2 hour parking on nearby Ebsworth St) Play time: Play is scheduled throughout the day with open green spaces, sports equipment and court space. Children are not required to bring devices but can bring something small to play with during the breaks like a ball, cards or a book. MAKERS PLAY LAB WORKSHOP DETAILS Day 1: Monday 20 January: Game Design - Level 3 (Computer Labs) Makers will explore gamification concepts through playing, designing and coding basic video games including racing, platform, launching, and more using visual programming software. Makers will learn about electronic circuit boards and conductive materials as they create their own cardboard game controller to play their game. Day 2: Tuesday 21 January: Makey Machines - Level 3 (Computer Labs) Makers will explore musical notes and patterns as they compose and create an interactive sound machine using code. They will use animation, record music and use beatbox sounds to create a cardboard sound machine controlled by an electronic circuit board. Makers will learn about simple circuits and digital systems. Day 3: Wednesday 22 January: Lego Robotics Level 5 (Anything Room) Makers will explore STEM concepts through building, creating and coding innovative solutions to design challenges using lego robotics and visual programming software. They will work through a series of guided projects structured to ignite curiosity, helping makers develop essential communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking-skills in a fun and exciting way. Makers can choose their robotics design challenge from a wide range of topics. What to bring: Children are to bring morning tea, lunch and a water bottle. All meals must be nut free.
