During the upcoming school holidays, join us for not one but two coding adventures.
- Dates: Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 July
- Time: 9.25am sign-in for 9.30am start. Pick up at 3pm.
- Location: Saint Kentigern Schools, Shore Road.
- Age: This course is for students in Years 5 and 6 at Saint Kentigern Boys’ and Girls’ School.
- Coding experience: None required. Students will learn all the coding skills they need to complete both the activities.
Coding in Minecraft
For one of the days, our young coders will enter the world of Minecraft. Inside this unique and engaging environment, they will explore and practise a range of programming concepts.
The group will be using Minecraft Education, which is specially designed for use in the classroom to promote creativity and learning.
Robotics: Maqueen Robot and Micro:bit
On the other day, we’ll introduce robotics and code a Maqueen Robot to perform basic movements. Activities will also include adding lights and sounds, and using ultrasonic sensors.
Students will code with Mind+ software, which is a block-coding program (similar to Scratch). It’s straightforward and intuitive to learn, and produces excellent results.
Cost and booking
The cost for the full holiday course is $300 (this includes the use of a laptop, micro:bit microcomputer, software, and other materials).
