Theme: Books & Films Come to Life...with robots
During this NewTechKids bootcamp of 5 weekly workshops held at the Amsterdam Public Library's Roelof Hartplein branch on Tuesdays, kids ages 7-9 will design, build and code a variety of robots according to different popular children's books and films.
Kids will develop creativity and innovation skills by designing, building and coding a series of robots and tech prototypes based on their own ideas. Kids will dive into building and visual programming using a series of robot kits and art supplies. They'll learn about design concepts (resources, requirements, testing, iteration, best practices) and computer science concepts (coding, algorithms, commands, loops, sequence, iteration, if-else logic, etc.).
During each class, they’ll discuss inspiring examples of technology before completing challenges in pairs and presenting their prototypes.
Classes will take place on Tuesday afternoons from 16:30 - 18:00 on the following dates:
- June 18, 25
- July 2, 9, 16
Kids are asked to bring a snack and drink which they will consume at the the beginning of class.
This bilingual bootcamp will be taught by a native Dutch-speaking professional teacher with specialised training in computer science. The curriculum and workshops are based on NewTechKids’ pedagogy which focuses on concept-context learning and the use of tangible learning tools.
Our camp is ideal for children with no previous exposure to design and computer science and those who have previously participated in NewTechKids programs.
A minimum of 14 students is required to offer this camp. Registrants will be notified 3 days prior if the camp is cancelled and a full refund will be provided.
