Growing Up Geek
summary
One-day workshops run about three hours and use ready-made kits so kids leave with a working project and a laptop set up for Minecraft modding where a pasted loop can spawn endless ender dragons and spark understanding of iteration. Longer options include monthly CoderDojo clubs, MIT’s Battlecode AI contests, and competitive teams like FIRST Robotics (over 500 teams within 50 miles of Chicago). Home options use Scratch or physical play like squishy circuits and Arduino/Raspberry Pi to teach real circuits, sensors and teamwork.
