Picture your old LEGO inventions….yellow, red and blue pieces attached together to form a Pirate ship, a Knight’s castle or a robot…. For today’s children, that robot can now move on it’s own! Introducing E-Bots, Educational Robotics ~ an outside of school program that runs all year to introduce children to the use of LEGO Mindstorms NXT kits, for children to design and program interactive robots. Summer time is summer camp, the rest of the year is after-school programs.

Our mission at E-Bots is to engage children in designing, building and programming a LEGO robot through active, creative and meaningful learning. We enable students to explore science, technology, engineering and math in a fun, hands–on way while allowing them to excel in their ability to problem solve, stimulate critical thinking, communicate and work in groups.

* Recommended for ages 9-15
* No previous experience is required
* Students will have a partner for most activities and are expected to co-operate and share well

Ishiki Journalism Workshops is for aspiring young writers, focusing on practical hands on experience, taking the student from story research to interviewing a subject in person with a full camera crew, to writing the article piece. Photo journalism is also taught using digital mediums where students learn to accompany the piece with the correct photo to tell the story. Programs used are Adobe Indesign, Photoshop, teaching advanced photo editing and forms of layout. Students learn the practice of journalism in its most professional manner, and most importantly sharpen and improve their writing and story telling skills. Uniquely the course includes pottery in which the student is encouraged to create a written ceramic scroll or vessel made on our pottery wheel. The students finished piece will be published online and printed in full colour page to frame and give back to the subject interviewed for display.
