5 Nights at the Coding Club
We're turning some of the coolest concepts from our
Middle School program into a spooky, hands-on STEAM
adventure! Kids will use robotics and engineering to
create animatronic characters with moving ears, eyes,
mouths, and arms. They'll explore the science behind
creepy sound effects, then record and edit their own
sounds. Each child will also make a set of glowing LED
animatronic eyes to take home!
