Art and Movement with We Do and Scratch
ICE Programs
This week's theme is art and movement using LEGO WeDo and Scratch. Scratch is free software from MIT that lets you create interactive art, animations, music, and games. LEGO WeDo kits contain a motor, a tilt sensor, and a distance sensor as well as LEGO blocks. You can make all sorts of cool things like a top spinner, a ball kicker that kicks whenever a ball gets close, or a plane that controls a Scratch plane. You will learn about responding to events, variables, and loops.
Dates: June 10-14, 2013
Participants: Rising 4th - 6th graders

Artificial Life Forms with LEGO NXT and Alice
ICE Programs
What does it mean to be alive? Explore movement, sensors, and behaviors as we create with 3D animations and build robots to simulate different types of animal behaviors such as foraging for food, seeking shelter, fleeing from harm, and hunting. Students will work with 3D animation concepts such as motor planning, sensing other objects in the simulation, point of view, and conditional statements. Students will also design and build robotic "creatures" with movement and sensing systems using the Lego NXT robotics kits.
Dates: July 15-19, 2013

Make your own apps with App Inventor!
ICE Programs
Have you ever wanted to create an application for your Android mobile phone, but don't have any programming experience? That's okay, because no experience is needed! With App Inventor, just drag-and-drop the programming blocks together like a puzzle to make the user interface and program. It's that easy. You can learn how to write music apps, apps that tell your fortune, and more. Never wonder again if there’s an app for that, because you’ll be able to create your own!
