iROOT
KIDS CODE: A robot that does incredible things.
Children can code their Root® robot to draw artwork,
play music, respond to touch, light, and sound, and more, all while exploring
the fundamentals of robotics.
No matter your family’s experience with coding or
robotics, the innovative, free iRobot® Coding platform makes coding easy with 3
Learning Levels. Begin with graphical, drag-and-drop code before advancing to
hybrid code and finally, full-text code.
Typically, it costs $200 to send one child to a coding
camp for 6 weeks. Due to donations and sponsorship from The Friends of Kimball
Library, this program is available for $40 per child.
Registration is required in person and is complete
when the fee is paid. Unattended classes are not refunded. Cash or check only
payable to Friends of Kimball Library.
Class will take place at the library on Wednesdays
from 3:30 to 4:30 from October 13 to November 17. Children may take the bus
from Atkinson Academy to the library if parents make arrangements with pick-up
patrol. (The library is not taking responsibility for the transportation, we
are only letting you know that there is a bus that stops here.) Please pack
them a snack that they can have before 3:30.
This class is hosted by Gail Ramsay (Code & Circuit)
and Kathy Watson (Kimball Library) who have brought other coding experiences to
the Library including BlueBots and Coding Jam with Osmo. The class is
developmentally designed with the age groupings in mind.
Class size is limited to 8, and masks and social
distancing are required. Kimball Library card holders have preference.
iRoot robots were generously donated by the Atkinson
Women's Civic Club. We couldn’t be more thrilled!
