Help your kids get the most out of Dash & Dot while making friends with fellow robot coders! In the last Wonder Magazine, we shared how you can host your own robot party. Our friends at Sparkiverse are hosting a series of summer camps, after school programs, and robot parties for local Bay Area kids!
Maze racing challenge
It’s a Dash-off! We placed foam bumpers on the ground with tape and programmed Dash to go through the maze as quickly as possible. The trick to speed is actually accuracy! Kids were able to measure the distance and debug their programs.
Drawing with Dash
Getting loopy with art. Kids built their own pen attachments and made works of art on the floor!
Upcoming Events and Camps
Friday, April 17 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm in Palo Alto – Kids’ Night Out Robot Party organized by Sparkiverse. Parents drop off students for a few hours while they go have some fun of their own. Students participate in Dash & Dot racing and drawing competitions, mixed in with some cake and fun.
Sunday, April 26 from noon – 2pm in Palo Alto – Create with Code Robot Party organized by our user community. Get together with your fellow robot coders to share your projects and learn from one another!
June 22 – June 26 in Palo Alto – Week-long robot coding summer camp organized by Sparkiverse. This camp mixes tech sessions with art, outdoor activities, and good old camp fun like carnival and skits.
Sparkiverse also uses Dash & Dot robots in their after school coding programs at: Palo Verde Elementary, El Carmelo Elementary, Escondido Elementary, and Duveneck Elementary in Palo Alto as well as Oak Knoll Elementary in Menlo park. More campuses will be available in the fall. Want Dash & Dot to come to your school? Let us know!
