Students ages will use Scratch to code their own magical cauldron that changes color and makes spooky sounds whenever an ingredient is clicked! Through hands-on activities and interactive questions, students will learn coding concepts like sprites, events, and sounds while creating their own potion projects. At the end, students can show off their creations to parents and WiSTEM members, and there will be candy provided. Recommended for ages 5-11. Free. Registration required (drop-ins accepted, provided there is space). Brought to you by Harker Women in STEM (WiSTEM) ADA Accommodation Requests
