Chatham Middle School 8th grader Manaal Qureshi will teach children how to code using our new Sony KOOV coding blocks.  Young innovators will use their imagination to build and program vehicles, cameras, animals, etc. and bring them to life with the help of sensors.  They will learn skills that they will ultimately use to create and code their own robots.  This series of 8 classes starts on March 6 and continues through May 1 (no class on April 10).
