Mondays: ‘Understanding Data’ Bootcamp (8-12 Years) in Jan-Feb. 2020
(Taught in a combination of Dutch and English.)
During this bootcamp of five (5) weekly workshops on Monday afternoons, kids ages 8-12 will explore design, programming and data collection. Kids will design and build simple robots and then program them to capture data while learning about if-else logic, loops, sequence, iteration and data structures.
Kids will learn using LEGO Mindstorms robotics kits.
Our bootcamp is ideal for children with no previous exposure to design and computer science and those who have previously participated in NewTechKids programs. It will be an ideal environment in which to experiment, experience failure and practise perseverance as part of the learning process in a fun and safe learning environment.
This bootcamp will take place on Monday afternoons from 16:00 – 17:30 on the following dates:
– January 20, 27, 2020
– February 3, 10 and 24, 2020 (no lesson during Voorjaarsvakantie)
Our program is ideal for children with no previous exposure to programming and those who have previously participated in NewTechKids programs. A minimum of 15 students is required to offer this program. Registrants will be notified one week prior if the program is cancelled and a full refund will be provided.
Location: Junior Lab (basement), Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam (OBA)/Amsterdam Public Library, Oosterdokskade 143, Amsterdam (5-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station)
