3D Modeling with TinkerCAD for Elementary and Middle School Students
3D Modeling with TinkerCAD for Elementary and Middle School Students
Students will learn how to create a CAD design for an item to be built. This lesson requires approximately middle school levels of reading and math comprehension. Programming of the CAD design is done in TinkerCAD. To create a drawing for printing, most children will require more than one TinkerCAD lesson or individual appointment.

Digital Art – Elementary and Middle School
Digital Art – Elementary and Middle School
In this lesson students will learn to draw a complex picture on an iPad using different drawing and coloring techniques. We use the Procreate program on iPads, with Apple pencils. Procreate includes the ability to add animation to pictures and this will be introduced. Students’ completed pictures can be emailed to them at the conclusion of the lesson. There is no minimum age recommendation, as no reading or math are required. Competence in using a computer is required.

Lego Robotics Basics – Late Elementary and Middle School
Lego Robotics Basics – Late Elementary and Middle School
Students will work individually or in pairs with a Lego Spike Prime kit. Time will be split between learning how to build a robotic device, and programming basic robotic functions. Lego programming is done in Scratch-like block coding.

Scratch Block Coding Basics – Upper Elementary and Middle School
Scratch Block Coding Basics – Upper Elementary and Middle School
Scratch, like other block based coding languages, is a good place for kids to start. They learn the structure of coding without needing to worry about a lot of syntax. The pieces of code are each in block format, and the program is a connecting of the blocks to make the animation on the screen do things.

Arduino Programming – Middle School
Arduino Programming – Middle School
Each student will work with a Raspberry Pi computer and learn how to connect it, get it running, and begin programming basic projects. No prior experience is required, but this lesson series requires a middle school level of reading, typing and math including simple multiplication and division. In the past, the Raspberry Pi was programmed to create sounds based on color input.

Video Editing – Upper Elementary and Middle School
Video Editing – Upper Elementary and Middle School
Students will learn how to use software such as Adobe's Premier Rush to create a video. Whether they want to cut a piece out of a longer video, create their own slideshow, add titles, or produce a professional video, they will leave this lesson understanding the basics of video editing. Attendees should be adept users of a computer. Upper elementary or middle school students with an interest in video editing would be appropriate. Students who have their own video content can work on that. Other students will work on generic video clips.
