During this hands-on workshop for kids ages 7-12, kids and their parents will learn about technology design, programming and AI. Kids will become chief designers at the MozFest robot factory where they will create robot heads (using a recycled cardboard box art supplies). Afterwards, kids will hand-draw their own code to program themselves, another child or their parents. 30 kids maximum per session.
In order to participate, please gather the following supplies:
- cardboard box (which fits over child's head)
- art supplies: colored paper, glue, tape, scissors, aluminum foil, pipe cleaners (optional)
- plain white paper
- pencil and eraser
Please note, due to privacy concerns, only NewTechKids' teachers will be visible on screen. We will be posting short online surveys to solicit feedback from the kids about technology. So it's very important that each child is participating with a parent or another child during the workshop.

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:The session can facilitate a maximum of 30 children, but is easy to scale down with a smaller number of groups.
What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:This workshop will introduce kids to both technology design and the logic of programming.
