Hands-on Coding for Cyber and Homeschool Students!  
Calling all Cyber and Homeschool parents! Are you interested in adding coding to your child’s learning? The Lancaster Science Factory is excited to introduce it’s first-ever Maker Space coding program this fall for grade levels 2nd – 8th.
Circuit Playground Express is the perfect platform for students to learn coding concepts or expand on existing skills. Students will start with Microsoft MakeCode tutorials to learn the basics of block-based programming. From there, they will create their own custom LED animations and let their imaginations go wild as they test the system’s capabilities.
More advanced students will have the opportunity to program their Circuit Playground Express with JavaScript and Circuit Python. Each 90-minute class is held in the Youth Maker Space at the Lancaster Science Factory and facilitated by our Maker Space Educator, Chris Blackmon .


A Circuit Playground “starter kit” to take home (one Circuit Playground Express, one USB cord, one AAA x3 battery pack) will be included with each registration. That’s a $30 value!

The Fall 2019 Code @ Home Program will take place at 1pm on the following dates: October 16th, October 23rd, October 30th, and November 6th.

We're Open On Monday, October 14th!
Do the kids have the day off of school on Monday, October 14th? The Lancaster Science Factory will be OPEN from 10am – 5pm for some interactive fun!
In addition to our 75+ hands-on exhibits, we will also be holding a special, all-ages K’nex “Make and Take” workshop in our Maker Space from 10am – 4pm! Build and take home one of our pre-planned designs, or dream up something of your own.
Participation in the workshop is free. Cost of finished K’nex designs will be based on weight.
