Theme: Division Q Spy Agency
During this NewTechKids bootcamp of 4 weekly workshops held at the Amsterdam Public Library near Centraal Station on Thursdays, kids will become master spies and inventors of the spy gadgets which will make James Bond and Ethan Hunt jealous.
Kids will dive into designing, building and coding using LEGO Mindstorms and art supplies. They’ll learn about design concepts (resources, requirements, testing, iteration, best practices) and computer science concepts (coding, algorithms, commands, loops, sequence, iteration, if-else logic, etc.).
During each class, they’ll discuss inspiring examples of technology before completing challenges in pairs and presenting their prototypes.
Classes will take place on Thursday afternoons from 16:30 - 18:00 on the following dates:
- June 27
- July 4, 11, 18
Kids are asked to bring a snack and drink which they will consume at the the beginning of class.
This bilingual bootcamp will be taught by a native Dutch-speaking professional teacher with specialised training in computer science. The curriculum and workshops are based on NewTechKids’ pedagogy which focuses on concept-context learning and the use of tangible learning tools.
Our camp is ideal for children with no previous exposure to design and computer science and those who have previously participated in NewTechKids programs.
A minimum of 14 students is required to offer this camp. Registrants will be notified 3 days prior if the camp is cancelled and a full refund will be provided.
