04/11/15--Make&Do!
Description:
The mission of maker education is to create more opportunities for all young people to develop confidence, creativity, and interest in science, technology,
engineering, math, art, and learning as a whole through making. This TechShop will give an opportunity for girls to have hands-on activities that reflect the
"maker" mission.
Agenda:
1:00 -- Meet in Founders 141 and get brief overview of activities
1:30 -- Break-out Session 1
2:30 -- Return to Founders 141 for refreshments
2:45 -- Break-out Session 2

Break-out Sessions 1 and 2 will provide small group activites on a number of topics including Alice Programming, Unplugged Activities, ROBOT Turtles, Finch robots, 3D Printers, and LittleBits. The number of topics will depend on the number of adult volunteers that participate.
