2023 Miss Maker Workshop
Miss Maker Workshop is coming soon!
WildStang Robotics Program is excited to announce the return of one of our most popular events. Miss Maker Workshop is a half-day event designed to introduce girls, ages 9 to 13, to Science, Engineering, and Math, through hands-on activities.
The girls will complete a Mechanical, Software, and Electrical project during the workshop. In the Mechanical session, the girls will design and build marshmallow catapults and see which design can launch the marshmallow the farthest. Then, they will test and iterate their catapult to see if they can improve on their previous design. In software, they will learn how to code using code academy, an interactive program with puzzles and games to teach them coding in a fun way. In Electrical, the girls will solder a breadboard with speakers that allow it to make music.
This year, we’ll be holding Miss Maker Workshops over two weekends – November 4th and November 11th. Both will be from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at MacArthur Middle School, 700 N. Schoenbeck Road, Prospect Heights. Space will be limited to 30 girls each day. So complete your registration today. Spaces will fill up fast!!
