Intro to Coding & Robotics with Fable

Intro to Coding & Robotics with Fable

Participants will explore block-based coding through a hands-on robotics session with Fable robots.

We will build and program our robots to solve challenges that will increase in difficulty. At the end of the session participants will have developed an understanding of block coding and important computational thinking skills.

Arckit Design Studio

Arckit Design Studio

Step into the Arckit Design Studio! Using a design thinking process and the innovative Arckit architecture kit students will explore sustainability within the context of architecture.

Working in small groups, participants will be recruited by a top Architecture firm to design, build and present their solution to a sustainability challenge. The hands-on sessions help students understand the importance of sustainability within our communities and gives them an opportunity to explore 21st century skills in a fun way.

Intro to Robotics & AI

    "Sam and the team and The Brainary have been a joy to work with. Their programs are fantastic, we
    always get a great crowd and great responses from the parents and kids. The programs are fun,
    engaging, and the kids leave having learned a lot. Working with them is super easy too,
    communication is fantastic and they’re very understanding of invoicing procedures. We’ve worked
    with Sam and the team for a long time and never had an issues, can’t recommend them highly
    enough."

    "The authentic, real-life purpose for learning made the workshop highly engaging for students. The ArcKit materials also allowed them to show their understandings of the concepts explored in the session in a practical way. A highlight was when one student cheered after having been 'recruited' to work in the architectural firm – a wonderful moment."

    The Arckit Sustainability session was just what we needed and what the students wanted. The session with Madison tied in well with our school science and technology unit and was very hands-on and engaging. The session was even mentioned as a semester highlight by several students in their end of semester reflections.

    Madison delivered the Arckit Workshop in a professional and highly engaging manner. Her ability to connect with the students on their level made the session both educational and fun. The Arckit project kit provided students with an innovative way to explore architectural concepts through hands-on, practical application. The interactive nature of the kit kept students engaged and inspired, allowing them to deepen their understanding of sustainable design in a creative and tangible way. The workshop was a valuable experience for the students, and I would recommend it to others seeking a dynamic approach to teaching architectural principles.
