Students will work in teams to rescue a space ship stranded
on the surface of the moon due to a battery failure. Teams
will develop codes using markers to guide a mini-robot, called
an Ozobot that will retrieve supplies to for this hands-on outer
space rescue. Thanks to Microsoft for presenting this workshop.

"Learn how computer programs are created and start coding
your own. Students will learn basic computer programming
and gain understanding of how our modern world works in
this fun and exciting workshop. Thanks to ThoughtSTEM for

During this Library NExT game design course, students will learn how to make zombies walk and magic carpets fly. This course teaches animation basics as well as character and storyboard design. Each participant creates their own video game design project using MIT’s online programming platform, Scratch, from the MIT Media Lab. Scratch is an easy to use interface that incorporates fundamental logical concepts of computer programming, serving as a launch into all aspects of game design. No prior computer coding experience required.

From cutting-edge malaria research to new hope for cystinosis patients; from internet security to understanding the developing, adolescent brain, women in science are changing the world. More importantly, they are changing how research is conducted. In 2013, the FDA advised women to cut the dosage of the sleeping pill Ambien in half, as it was discovered that the active ingredient in the drug stayed in women’s bodies longer than in men’s—a fact that was overlooked in drug trials because of routine bias that does not include sex as a variable in scientific research.
