In this session educators will learn how to Hack their STEM program using computational thinking in conjunction with phenomenon-based learning experiences. Through this hands on approach, educators experience the value of using digital tools and everyday materials to bring learning to life while operating on a budget of $0 and no guarantee of a classroom!

Group together by interest and see what you can do with the creative constraints of time and materials.
Some clarification
Some clarification
Below are some specifics to each choice so that you have a success in completing an idea within the time constraints of the session.
Pick a pathway(3D Design, Electronics, Codeblocks) and head to the LEARN page and complete a tutorial or two.
I would start with the Chase the Pizza, but feel free to complete any of the tutorials.
While we don't have pizza boxes we do have materials to get you started.
Be sure to follow guide for battery first and then create whatever you like!
