Sumo Bots for TEENS!

Show your Skills in the Ring!

Students learn to create a vehicle that can compete in a SumoBot tournament. Each robot attempts to push the others out of the ring while avoiding falling out. In addition to the coding, students have an engineering challenge to create attachments that can increase the defensive or offensive capabilities of their SumoBot. This workshop develops teamwork and cooperation as well as friendly competition during the tournament! Ages 12+

CANCELLED: Interactive Graphic Novels with Holyoke Codes for TEENS!
Mar 21 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Combine art and literature with coding and computational thinking to create compelling narratives. We  will conceive a story, illustrate it, and bring it to life using Ren’Py, an open source visual novel engine to tell their interactive digital stories. The Ren’Py scripting language is based on Python, a widely used programming language that enables students to create a unique story that allows readers to make choices that affect the story outcome.
