Explore the universe with Queens Public Library!
Has your kid ever wondered what’s out there in the universe? Outer space offers a great foundation for inventive building and creative thought. In Bit Bots in Space, kids become explorers, creating inventions like alien language translators and high-tech spacecraft to explore beyond our solar system. In this workshop, the KoKo NYC Teaching Artist brings in a piece of current or historical space news to invite discussion and ideas. Then kids use a combination of recyclables and simple electronic components to create their own out-of-this-world inventions. By way of material exploration, kids learn environmental responsibility and the basics of circuitry.
