Creativity meets code in a workshop that turns ideas into playable games-and Girl Scouts into technology innovators.

 

Get ready to think like a robotics engineer and coder! For this event you will be a game developer! In this interactive workshop, Girl Scouts will deconstruct their favorite games-like UNO, Connect 4, and Jenga-to uncover the logic and "coding" that makes each one work. Then, they'll remix and reprogram (game coding) the rules to create their own exciting new versions! Just like coding a robot, girls will learn how small changes can lead to big results. Through teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving, participants will design, test, and present their unique game prototypes while building confidence, collaboration skills, and a coder's mindset-all while having a blast!

$25.00 per girl
$0.00 per adult
