About this Event
For Students in Grades 7-9 in Fall 2025
Join Josh Burker for an exploration of Brown Dog Gadget's brick-based Microbit Robot. We will construct the base unit on day 1, debug it, and program it. Day two we will expand on the build to add capabilities. Day three is for debugging and demonstrating your robot's power: from object retrieval to drawing, depending on how you have built and refined your 'bot!
Josh Burker is the Creative Technology Teacher at Marymount School Upper Middle Division in New York City. He has taught in both public and private schools for over 20 years, working with Logo programming, robotics, fabrication, electronics, and art. He writes books, holds workshops for teachers, and consults on educational projects that he finds inclusive and disruptive. He is the author of The Invent to Learn Guide to Fun and The Invent to Learn Guide to More Fun, both of which inspire makers of all ages to explore the intersection of crafting and technology through whimsical, creative projects.
