Thank you!

Welcome to the 11th newsletter of 212 STEAM Labs. We had an amazing week of learning and am excited for another great week of learning with some outstanding adults and kids.

As we make preparations for the next few months of classes and more importantly for 2018 calendar year I would love to hear from you. What are some things you would like to see happen at 212?

Here are some ideas we are currently developing

  • Weekend classes to help offset the craziness of schedules during the week
  • Kindergarten and 1st grade classes(in process of finding an instructor)
  • Adult/Child workshops
  • STEAM projects for adults
In some more recent news we have the following things happening at the space which are very exciting
  • The back room is slowly being converted into a robotics workshop. Thanks to some special high school students and their families we have begun to organize the back space to launch the first in the state military robotics competition. More details forthcoming, but we have something very cool to launch soon.
  • Fingers crossed for our grants. We have submitted several grants and hoping some come through so we can purchase new equipment and materials.
  • We now have programs for preschool and grades 3-adult
This past week we had some awesome learning taking place
  • Preschool was learning about the life cycle of animals and plants
  • Grades 3-5 started exploring physical computing with Makey Makey. They will be moving into Scratch coding this week in preparation for making their own Halloween prop.
  • Grades 6-8, 9-12, and adults have started to explore the world of coding with Arduino. We started programming LED lights and this week will move into servos and motors to prepare for our pumpkins.
Coming up in the next month of November we have some exciting events happening.
  • 2 day Makerspace PD for educators will take place on November 13 and 14
  • Further exploration of Arduino and Makey Makey in our classes
  • 3D printing cookie cutters for the holidays
Thanks for all the support from everyone to help keep this place open and successful. We are growing slowly and organically and none of this is possible without amazing people like yourselves believing in the mission.

Until next week......
