April Workshop

Defend Your Galaxy With Make Code!

Come join us on Saturday April 22, 2023 and Saturday April 29, 2023 for our Coders, Defend Your Galaxy With Make Code! workshop for Boys 8 to 12.

Details: Microsoft’s MakeCode Design a Space Explore Workshop hosted by Black Boys Code Gaming is an international activity shared by millions of people worldwide.

Design a Space Explorer provides your child with instruction for block-based game development, exploring beginner to intermediate game development concepts. During this two part-workshop, your child uses the power of coding to create a space fighter game. They will equip their spacecraft with refillable fuel canisters and a creative mix of space lasers, coding everything they need to defend the galaxy. As students go through Design a Space Explorer game, they will build a galactic environment where they can fire projectiles, level up the game’s difficulty, and customize projectile design, all while being cautious about their health bars and refueling needs. Throughout these experiences, they will use various computer science and game design concepts.

Students use Microsoft’s MakeCode, and at the end of the learning path, your child will receive a certificate of completion.

Register Now, Space Is Limited!

This workshop will use IBM’s Quantum Computing framework Qiskit. This will require students to register and make an account with IBM Experience in order to access IBM’s quantum resources (this is completely free). This will allow students to access Jupyter Notebooks with all the necessary python modules already installed. Students will also have the option of installing Qiskit and Jupyter notebook locally on their personal machine.
