Join the Saskatchewan Mining Association at the SSC on March 7, 2024, for some special activities in celebration of Engineering & Geoscience Week!

Learn to make new games with a microbit. Making a Sandwich is easy, right? Learn how a computer thinks through a fun (and sometimes messy) sandwich building exercise.

Code along with us as we create the game Flappy bird using code.org. Continuing from last week, we will be playing through more code combat, a game that teaches you to code while you play.

Levelhead is a game like Mario Maker on PC. You’ll learn how to use the game to create some fun things. We will create our own GoCode level and take your input to make this level more fun to play.

Follow along with the GoCode team as they dive into dungeons and find cool gear by using coding to complete missions in a game.

The GoCode team is back with Micro:bits and they are going to teach you how to build a stopwatch so you can time yourself coding projects. We are also going to show you how a microbit can be coded to be a compass.

We will be using a website to create some games. Learn how to use the site and see some of the cool ways we can use it to develop some awesome content. We will share and play levels that people create!

Role Playing Games (RPG's) are a classic video game style. We will be showing the basics of one of the best ways to tell a story and make a fun game. Following up from the morning session, we will be showing more ways to use RPG maker to design some cool stuff for games you create.

Code.org brings fresh new ways to learn how to code by using Minecraft tutorials and help the GoCode team complete missions. Minecraft has become an iconic game come join the GoCode team as they explore the minecraft world in code.org.
