NEW! Designing From Nature

Target Learners: Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 6

Students will consider sources of design inspiration and create, design and construct a structure out of straws and connectors. They will code the micro:bit “brain” to react to different stimuli, inspired by particular living things in nature.

Please note: While the above description will be true for every session, our facilitators each put their own spin on this highly adaptable workshop! The specific coding and inspiration sources may vary so that their passions and knowledge shine through.
