John M. Harper Branch

Community Room

For kids ages 5 and up with a caregiver.

Spend the morning exploring fun tech with your family. We’ll provide the tech and inspiration to get started – you just need to be ready to explore.

Available Tech Will Include:

littleBits are easy-to-use electronic building blocks that snap together with magnets to make learning about circuitry exciting and engaging.

Ozobots are mini robots that use sensors to follow lines and read colour codes that you make with markers and paper! You can make them change speed, direction or do cool moves.

Cubelets are the only way to build a robot where you build with a bunch of tiny robots. You can combine them to create all sorts of different robot constructions based on 3 basic categories: sense, think and act.

For families with children ages 5+ and their caregiver. Please register one person to represent the family.

This program is being offered on various dates and the activities will be the same. Please register for only one program.

We kindly remind you that registrations will be removed if the registered person does not meet the program’s specified age requirements.
