Creative Discovery Museum: Coding Machine for Kids

Project Information:

The Creative Discovery Museum wants kids to get excited for coding so, of course, they contacted the STEM School for help!  They need students to design and build a "coding machine" for use during Family Nights. The idea is to create an interactive experience to expose kids to coding.  Imagine colorful displays, mesmerizing LEDs, Raspberry Pis and Arduinos and you start to get the idea.  The machine must be durable and transportable since they will take it on road shows multiple times a week where it is used about 200 students/parents.  This project will require skills in coding, graphic design, and digital fabrication skills. Even better, it's a chance to inspire future STEM students in and around Chattanooga.  For the school partner, the focus is on creating a Coding Machine for Kids that’s viable for the museum’s family night activities .  For the STEM School, the focus is on the collaboration and critical thinking skills demonstrated by the student teams.
