SUMMARY:Code vs. Chance Alachua
DESCRIPTION:Code vs. Chance: Is Your Computer Really Random?  \nIn this hands-on 2-hour workshop\, students will put randomness to the test by combining science and coding in a fun\, data-driven challenge. Using the scientific method\, students will program a Micro:bit to act as a digital dice and then compare its outcomes to a traditional six-sided dice. They’ll form hypotheses\, run experiments\, collect and analyze data\, and determine whether computer-generated “randomness” really stacks up against chance. \nThis workshop blends coding with critical thinking as students explore patterns\, probability\, and the difference between true randomness and programmed results—perfect for curious minds who love tech and science! \nWhat to Expect: \n\n\nProgram a Micro:bit to simulate rolling a dice \n\n\nUse the scientific method to design and run a fair test \n\n\nCompare digital randomness with physical dice outcomes \n\n\nCollect\, organize\, and analyze data to identify patterns \n\n\nLearn the basics of probability\, coding logic\, and experimental design \n\n\nWorkshop Details: \n\n\nDuration: 2 hours \n\n\nDate: Tuesday September 16th 2025 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm \n\n\nLocation: The Old School House 23760 NW 187th Ave\, High Springs\, FL 32643 \n\n\nCost: $40.00 \n\n\nRegister today and let your child explore the fascinating intersection of technology\, statistics\, and real-world experimentation!
