Cyber Patriot
Ages 6-8 • Members create story boards, develop characters, themes, and plots that are then brought to the screen through still motion photography. |
Ages 9-13 • LEGO Robotics is a targeted robotics engineering lab designed for first time participants, no experience necessary. Youth will participate in one-off coding exercises to complete team based challenges, improve critical thinking skills / creativity, spark an interest in STEM, and promote discussion about career paths in robotics and related subjects. Lego based designs bring a level of comfort for beginners.
Ages 6-9 • NASA’ s BEST activities expose members to the engineering design process( W 4:30pm – 5:30pm). The guides accommodate two grade groups( K-2 & 3-5), and all follow the same set of activities. The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers use to solve problems. The emphasis is on students’ understanding that engineers must“ imagine and plan” before they begin to build and experiment.

Ages 9-13 • The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify“ code,” to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science.
Ages 9-17 • 3D printing is a strong draw to encourage students to develop their science, technology, engineering and math skills— right alongside communication, collaboration and problem solving. Programs that allow students to develop, design and produce solutions give them experience with the activities that will serve them well in college and career. Students learn 2D and 3D computer aided software and applications through project based learning.
Students explore past expeditions in underwater exploration that have led to many discoveries about our ecosystem. Students then connect information about research and discovery and relate to creating their own ROV to explore their local watershed.
Youth Defenders Protect Your Privacy! Cyber Patriot increases awareness about cyber security. Members learn how to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and how to secure various operating systems from malicious threats.
