This is a really fun, brand new, Halloween STEM workshop with Let's Code Blacksburg! that's a real doozy!

It's a two night workshop where all you bring is your laptop and our instructors and helpers will step you and your kids through building and coding your very own, scary "Talking Skull" that you can program with your own words, if you like. It teaches kids and adults alike, both basic robotics and C++ programming language (what Windows and OSX is written in).

This is college level CS level material and some basic electronics, but we make it doable for kids as young as 9 years old or as old as 90.

The workshop cost is $40.00, but you get to keep the $37.00 in Arduino and electronic parts we ordered from China plus pizza and drinks for the two nights is included.
