You will find your child more motivated to code, create, and learn!
- Grades 2-7
Join us for an unforgettable Minecraft coding adventure where your child can become the hero of the theater! In this new exciting live online coding class, students will step into the shoes of creative problem solvers, using code to ensure the show goes on without a hitch. Guided by an expert instructor, children will explore programming concepts while having tons of fun in this Minecraft: Education Edition world (check out the cool trailer!). Find the show's missing star, unlock hidden gags, and interact with an ensemble cast. Help the Agent overcome stage fright as you solve coding puzzles backstage. Watch your coding skills shine in an epic final performance!
- Grades 4-9
From self-driving cars and humanoids to AI generated art and ChatGPT, AI is one of the fast growing areas in technology. What is AI? What are some of the cool things it can do? Join this event to learn about fun cutting-edge AI applications created by companies such as Google and Nvidia. Your child will enjoy lots of group discussion, interaction with an expert instructor, and hands-on projects.
We run this free event regularly, and the same content is covered every time. To explore AI deeper, join our small group courses:
AI Explorers (grades 4-9) - Enjoy a broad overview of a variety AI applications and technologies, such as computer vision, chatbots, robotics, and generative AI.
Create with ChatGPT (grades 4-7) - Learn how to use ChatGPT as a tool for planning, brainstorming, and even creating your own chatbot.
AI Creators (grades 6-12) - Take a deep dive into learning how to code AI applications with Python and more.
- Grades 2-10
Humans might land on Mars within the next 10 years, and some of today’s children could even move to live on the Red Planet. How cool is that?
But Mars is very different from Earth, so how do we figure out what’s needed to live there? Interestingly, some places on Earth feel a lot like Mars. One such location is the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah, a space analog facility that supports research on human operations specifically for Mars.
We’re very excited to host Sergii Iakymov, Director of the Mars Desert Research Station, who will share how they help scientists and engineers test new technologies, train astronauts, and study the physical, psychological, and operational challenges of long-duration space missions.
About Sergii Iakymov - Sergii is an aerospace engineer, analog astronaut and Director of the Mars Desert Research Station located in Utah. His many duties at the station include crew selection and logistics, maintenance, resupply, mission support and crew rotation. Sergii has led several analog Mars missions that focused on human behavior and operations in space. Last year he was a crew member of NASA's Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) mission at Johnson Space Center, contributing to a 45-day Mars simulation. Join us as Sergii shares his experience and insights on space exploration, analog missions, and the future of human missions to Mars.

They are in your phone, and they are in your car. They light up your house, and they run roller coasters. What are they? They're electronic circuits and they're everywhere!
In this fun free online event series, your child will learn the basics of electronic circuits using Snap Circuits. We will build several fun projects each time, while learning what a circuit is, how circuits work, and how to add more parts in a circuit to make sounds, light, and more! They will also learn sensors and advanced content such as integrated circuits.
"I really love this fun and interactive event. Me and my classmates had a blast sharing with each other and talking about how things work. The teacher was amazing and he helped me out so much. When a person was stuck on something he would help us out." shared our student Pavel.
