Sphero Indi Cars – Learn problem-solving and basic coding logic by guiding color-sensing cars through mazes and challenges. 

Snap Circuits – Discover how electrical circuits work by snapping together components to create lights, sounds, and motion. 

Circuit Blox – Grow your understanding of electricity with building-block style circuits that make learning about power flow fun and visual. 

Sphero Minis – Experiment with block-based coding and physics by driving and programming tiny robotic balls. 

This session offers a great opportunity for young learners to explore STEM concepts in a fun, low-barrier environment. Perfect for curious minds ready to tinker and explore! Presented by Virtual Ventures. Ages 7-12. Registration required.
