SUMMARY:Snapology: Real World Robotics
DESCRIPTION:Real World Robotics!\nSnapology’s Real World Robotics program introduces students to the exciting\, real-life applications of robotics while helping them build teamwork\, problem-solving\, and coding skills. Working in small groups\, children design and program robots that use sensors\, motors\, gears\, and other mechanical elements to complete fun challenges. Along the way\, they learn to follow instructions\, debug code\, and think creatively as they bring their robots to life. With hands-on projects that highlight how robots help humans in everyday life—and even in space exploration—this program makes learning programming\, engineering\, and collaboration both fun and rewarding. \nThis workshops is appropriate for kids aged 7-14 years. 9:00am-3:00pm\, $110/registrant \nClick HERE to register for Real World Robotics with Snapology of Harvard\, MA \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nSnapology is the premier partner for STEAM programs worldwide. The organization’s goal is to provide children’s enrichment with STEAM learning programs that engage kids 4-14 years old with fun\, hands-on activities to teach science\, technology\, engineering\, art and math. While children are exploring robotics\, coding and design challenges using LEGO® bricks\, K’Nex\, and technology\, they’re building skills that will help them throughout school and their careers. To kids\, it’s just fun!  \nFivesparks is partnering with Snapology of Harvard\, MA to bring these fun and educational programs to our community! Snapology of Harvard\, MA is owned/operated by area parents whose family fell in love with Snapology’s methods and philosophies.  So much so\, they want to share them!  You will find Snapology of Harvard\, MA programs at Fivesparks\, in local schools and community centers around the Metro-West area. https://www.snapology.com/massachusetts-harvard/ \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:Free Demo! Building with Gingerbread: Tips & Tricks
DESCRIPTION:Just ahead of the first ever Fivesparks Gingerbread Showcase\, join us for BUILDING WITH GINGERBREAD: Tips & Tricks\nBuilding with gingerbread doesn’t have to be stressful!  Join us for a free demonstration of gingerbread construction tips and tricks from two local bakers with decades of experience. \nInstructors Judy Baumhover and Lyn Slade will share with you the disaster-averting tips they’ve learned over the years.  From major (start early!) to minor (tweezers are your friend)\, you’ll leave armed with lots of new techniques to help you avert disaster and enjoy the process.  \nGet inspiration for designing your entry for the Fivesparks Gingerbread Showcase (December 13 + 14) or come just to sharpen your skills and enjoy the show! \nOpen to adults and teens (kids 9-12 are welcome with an adult). \nInstructors: Judy Baumhover graduated at the top of her class from the Culinary Institute of America’s Baking & Pastry program and embarked upon a career of creating wedding cakes and truffles for private clients as well as various catering companies.  Lyn Slade is the former owner of Chef D’jour Ltd. Catering\, Charlotte‘s House B&B\, and Designs by Lyn Cookie Buffets. Now retired\, she continues to bake as a hobby. \nThese two friends are always happy to share their love and knowledge of the craft of baking. With just a little encouragement\, they’ll also tell us some of their always-entertaining near-disaster stories — moments that every baker can relate to! \nSaturday\, November 15\, 1-3pm.  This is a FREE event! No need to register.

SUMMARY:Snapology: Winter Themed Holiday Robotics - Polar Express
DESCRIPTION:In our Winter Holiday Robotics program\, your builder will explore the basics of robotics while building some really fantastic robots inspired by different holiday traditions! While working with a partner to complete the building instructions and debug their robot’s program\, your student will be taught how different mechanical components work in their robots and how programming is a challenging but rewarding skill that they can master with just a little practice. We will support them in the development of their coding and building skills and inspire them with creative building activities and information about the traditions that make winter such a special time of year! \nWith each new model\, students will be given a program to operate their robotic build. They will learn how to read the program code and then fix an error to make the code useable. By fixing errors in a broken program code\, students will learn how to debug and modify their programs quickly. Whether making their build respond to various sensors\, adding loops and fun sounds\, or modifying variables\, children will learn valuable programming skills through the Scratch-based coding platform. \nThis workshops is appropriate for kids aged 7-12 years.  \nWednesday\, November 26th. 9am-3pm.  $110/registrant \nClick HERE to register for Winter Themed Holiday Robotics – Polar Express with Snapology of Harvard\, MA \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nSnapology is the premier partner for STEAM programs worldwide.
