Makers,
Next week, CMS shop lead and instructor Allison Zito will be offering a week long virtual class for ages K – 12, Our Favorite Birds.
In this multi-session class, students will use a variety of mediums to recreate their favorite birds. We will draw, paint and use pastels to make renderings of our most cherished avian friends. At the end of the class, students may digitally submit their pictures to the Mass Audubon museum exhibit.
This class will meet 12 – 1 PM, June 8 – 11th.
This class is free, but registration is required. Learn more here.
Starting next week, learn how to code a virtual Sumo Bot for our upcoming competition on June 21st and on Saturday join us for Setting Up Your First Website. Learn more about both of these events below!
Virtual Sumo Bot Competition
Let’s face it – it might be a while before we can return to hand to hand combat – so why not have a robot do your bidding for you? Meet The Sumo Bot, a maniacal battler of brute force and binary. Two bots shall enter the ring, only one will leave victorious. Will it be yours?
Robots can be coded using blockly which is easy-to-use block-based coding or Javascript. Anyone can enter the competition by creating an account and building code on the http://roboton.io/ site. We will also be holding coding hang out sessions on May 26th (register here) and June 7th (register here), from 6 – 8 PM. If you are newbie, this is will be a great opportunity to start learning.
Please register for all events if you plan on attending and/ or participating.
