A club afternoon
First, make something move.
A small challenge gives everyone a place to start. Then we leave enough time to change the idea.

See the challenge.
Watch a short example and talk about what the robot needs to do. There is time to ask how something works.
-
45 minutes
Build, code and test.
Work in pairs, trade jobs and change one thing at a time. A club leader helps you find the next thing to try.
-
15 minutes
Show the change.
Share what worked, what surprised you and what you would try next. A half-finished idea belongs here, too.
-
5 minutes
Pack up together.
Save the project notes, sort the parts and leave the table ready for next time.
What to bring
A water bottle and curiosity. Have an after-school snack before arriving. Laptops, building parts and paper for sketches are provided; personal devices can stay at home.
Arriving and heading home
A parent signs each child in and out at 26 Cedar Walk, Maple Crossing. Doors open at 3:50pm; sessions run 4–5:15pm. Tell the club leader in advance if a different adult will pick up.
A club for trying things.
Bipnook keeps groups small enough for every child to use the parts, ask a question and take a turn. The point of showcase night is to talk about the making, including the bits that took another attempt.
If your child needs help joining in, a parent can discuss what would make the session easier before choosing a group.
Let’s find a first project.
A parent or guardian can ask about either winter group.
