SUMMARY:Tech Trek: Spring 2027 Session Begins
DESCRIPTION:Tech Trek introduces children (grades 1-5) to the world of technology through interactive projects and imaginative play. Our program is specifically designed for elementary-aged learners to build 21st Century skills like collaboration\, communication\, and creativity. We combine hands-on technologies and unplugged activities for a fun introduction to tech concepts. \nDuring Tech Trek\, your child will have the opportunity to tinker\, create\, and problem-solve. We use programmable robots\, 3D printers\, coding games\, and more to give kids a glimpse into the exciting careers that are possible in the tech industry. With Tech Trek\, kids learn through play as they tackle educational and engaging projects. \nOne of the things that makes Tech Trek so special is that it’s completely hands-on. Kids explore the inner workings of technology and use their creativity and curiosity to come up with their own solutions to challenges. Tech Trek is also unique in that it includes time for kids to explore museum exhibits. \nSkills we explore: basic coding concepts\, program development\, circuitry\, internet safety \nTools we use and love: BeeBot programmable robots\, Lego WeDo\, Makey Makey invention kits\, Snap Circuits\, Finch Robot 2.0\, Cubelets robot blocks\, 3D printer \n\nSchedule: This session is 6 weeks long and meets on Wednesday afternoons from 3:15 to 5:30 pm. To accommodate school release and travel time\, we offer a flexible drop-off period and free play in the museum between 3:15 and 4:00 before moving into project-based learning time. \nCost: $180 per session (sessions meet weekly for six weeks). Pre-registration is required. \nWho This Program is For: Children in Grades 1-5 \nOther Program Details \n\nClass size is a maximum of 12 students.\nOur learning environment will include exhibits at The Iowa Children’s Museum as well as our classroom space.\nCaregivers are asked to bring a reusable water bottle for their child each day. Snacks will not be provided.\nExtended care (before 3:15 or after 5:30 PM) is not available at this time
