🤖Get your child ready for the future with our "Zookeeper’s Coding Adventure” happening on May 27th, 2023 at ATLANTA METRO COLLEGE from 10AM – 03:00PM!

📚No prior experience required and for this special occasion, we'll open our workshop to boys from 8 to 12 years old.

In this workshop, your child combines their passion for animals and game development to create a Zookeeper’s Adventure. The block-based coding experience guides your child through basic storytelling design actions for games, including movement, randomness, positioning, and the creation and destruction of elements.

🦁🦜🦒In this set of activities, students use the power of coding to help manage a zoo. Beginner-friendly with enough of a challenge for more advanced coders. The step-by-step instructions focus on projects that involve movement and interaction.

🧑🏾‍💻Learning Objectives: As students go through a zookeeper’s adventure, they create their zookeeper sprite, design exhibits, and take care of animals. Throughout these experiences, they will use computer science and game design concepts.

This is a great opportunity for kids to explore their creativity, learn new skills, and connect with others who share their passion for animals and coding. Sign up today to be a part of this exciting workshop!
