Membership Class Descriptions & Registration Links

TechGurlz

TechGurlz is a creative/tech class for girls 5th-8th grade , or those identifying as girls, to explore technology through creative projects in a supportive, fun space. They will start with graphic design concepts, creating their own personal 3D logo in Canva and then print it out on the 3D printer as a keychain or stamp. After they will move into wearable circuits, film making, laser cut jewelry, website creation or anywhere the class chooses to explore! This class will start on Sunday mornings 10-11:15am until soccer season is over and ski season starts and will then, if the group agrees, move to Saturday afternoons for the winter. This class begins January 15th. When you sign up you will be charged the prorated amount for January to hold your spot and then not again until Feb 1st.

Preschool STEAM Class - “How to Catch a ... “ Adventure

Come Join us at this drop-off preschool class where we explore science, coding, art and engineering all wrapped around the "How to Catch a...." series! Each of the eight classes will have three stations, a coding station (yes, they really will learn some basic coding!), an engineering challenge and a science/art project that will inspire and delight their inner STEAM! This class will run every Wednesday (except Nov 23rd), for eight Wednesdays from 1:30-2:30 starting October 19th - Dec 14th. *This is our only stand alone 8 week class, and does not include Club Membership. The total tuition for all 8 classes is $160.

Destination Imagination

Destination Imagination is a nationwide makerspace team competition that will help participants learn about the creative process, interpersonal skills, critical thinking, project management, team building, conflict resolution and resilience. In “DI” as we call it, each team of children will choose a challenge and then spend the fall preparing a solution that is presented at a competition in Seattle. The challenges offered by Destination Imagination are focused on STEM, Improv, Visual Arts, and Service Learning. Each week they will also practice a mini-STEM challenges. This class, under the guidance of a seasoned Destination Imagination instructor, takes working in teams and STEM to a whole new level while enjoying ALL the other benefits the Club offers! Grades 2nd-7th grade, please read more here.

Legos, Spheros and Robots

Robotics is a fun and easy way to get started with STEM while learning programming, engineering, & design principles. This class will guide students through beginner projects, introducing new concepts and skills using a variety of different Lego® robotic platforms as well as working on the Sphero Global Challenge . For those classes that are ready, they will work toward competing with our Spike Prime Kits. or the Spheros. Grades 2nd-5th, please read more here.

Middle School Coding and Robotics Team

We love middle schoolers (5th-8th)!! In their classes they take over the Club and can choose either VEX Robotics Team or coding (except Friday’s class which is exclusively VEX Robots). Our Robotics teams, in groups of 2-3, develop their math, engineering, coding and of course team-building skills as they work to compete in VEX challenges with the robots they design and build. This is a great way to get the jump on high school robotics as all BPS use the VEX system! Robotics Team members may come to more than one class as they prepare for VEX competitions! Grades 5th-8th, please read more about Robotics Team here.

Upper Elementary School Coding and STEM

Finally, you have made it to our main attraction! Our unique group coding classes balance screen time with hands-on activities and opportunities to create and explore a variety of activities including 3D printing, makerspace and basic robotics in addition to focusing on our signature coding curriculum that can take any coder where they want to be! Our coders will spend the first 50-60 minutes coding, usually in Scratch and then transition to more social, team building STEM activities for the last 15-25 minutes. Each month we offer different coding challenges for them to show us their mad coding skills. Grades 3rd-5th (2nd graders with permission), please read more here and see Homeschool time at 2:00pm on Thursdays below!

Advanced Coding

For those 4th-7th graders who are very experienced in Scratch, can type well, have been at our Club more than 1.5 years (or get prior clearance) and are more focused on Coding than our STEM activities, we are now offering advanced coding. This class will look at a variety of languages and is projected based. Please note this class will NOT be doing the traditional STEM activities we offer the other classes the last 15-25 minutes of each class. Who has time when there is coding to be done?! We recognize 5th-7th graders could take this class OR the middle school classes. The middle school classes are more social, self-paced, allow for Scratch and often still do the STEM activity (hopefully that helps you make a choice!)

Early Elementary School Coding, Robotics and STEM

Our unique K-2 group classes balance screen time with hands-on activities and opportunities to create and explore a variety of activities including 3D printing, Makerspace, science activities and basic robotics in addition to our signature coding curriculum that can take any little coder where they want to go! Basic reading is required, please read more here.

Lowell Pick up

On Monday or Wednesday one of our uniformed instructors will meet your child at Lowell pick up area and walk them down to the Coding Club, stopping at Larrabee if weather permits. Once at the Club, the kids will have free time to play games, hang out and eat snack while they wait for their 3:30pm class. This option is only available for members enrolled in a 3:30pm class on that day.

For those who prefer to see ALL the options, here is the calendar as a visual and below are all classes together.

And for you that want to see EVERYTHING we are offering right now, have fun!
