IoT stands for the Internet of Things. It means everyday objects—like lights, appliances, or toys—are connected to the internet and can “talk” to each other or be controlled remotely. For example, a smart thermostat that adjusts the temperature based on your phone or a doorbell that lets you see visitors on your tablet are both IoT devices. This class introduces kids to this exciting technology by teaching them how to build their own smart devices.
In this hands-on class, students will learn to create simple smart devices using an Arduino—a small, beginner-friendly computer board. They will connect sensors (which can detect things like temperature or motion) and displays (to show information), and program these devices to perform fun and useful tasks. With the help of ChatGPT, an AI assistant, students will write and troubleshoot their own computer code, making programming easier and more enjoyable—even if they have never coded before!

Scratch Jr is a fun, simple way for young children (ages 5 to 7) to learn the basics of computer programming. Instead of typing code, kids snap together colorful blocks to make characters move, tell stories, and create games. It’s like digital building blocks that help children learn how to think logically and solve problems — all while being creative and having fun!
In this course, your child will use the Scratch Jr app on a tablet to create their own interactive stories and mini games. They will animate characters, add sounds, and even personalize their projects with drawings and photos. This hands-on learning experience helps build creativity, early coding skills, and confidence with technology.
