About Our Club

Join us in celebrating the first year of the Coyote STEAM-Powered Maker Club. Thirty-three 3rd - 5th grade club members will meet on Thursday afternoons. Since our focus is on STEAM related topics (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics), we will work on activities such as circuits, flight, robotics, video creation, stop motion, Green Screens, coding, graphic design, and structural engineering with K'Nex, Hanz Moto and Lego bricks.

Hummingbird Duo Robotics Kit

Thank you Anna Adam & Holly Landez for teaching us today about the Hummingbird Duo Robotics Kit. Students learned how to program LED lights to turn red, blue and green after setting up the "brain" of a robot. Next step for us is to build a robot! What a great way to end our first year as a Maker Club!
