SUMMARY:Code vs. Chance Jax
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: Friday September 19th 2025\, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm \n\n\nLocation: Edison Kids Innovation Center\, 9300 Normandy Blvd\, Jacksonville\, FL 32221 \n\n\nCost: $40.00 \n\n\nRegister today and let your child explore the fascinating intersection of technology\, statistics\, and real-world experimentation!

SUMMARY:STEM Fair Workshop Series Jax
DESCRIPTION:STEM Fair Workshop Series\nAges 7–14 | 2 Hours Each | 7 Fridays This FallLimited Spots Available \nCurious minds\, unite!Join us this fall for a 7-part STEM Fair Workshop Series where students dive into hands-on science and engineering challenges inspired by real-world problems. Each 2-hour session introduces a new mini STEM Fair-style project using either the Engineering Design Process or the Scientific Method. \nFrom coding randomness to designing wind-powered machines\, building sock-launching catapults to sewing light-up bookmarks—each workshop blends critical thinking\, creativity\, and collaboration in a fun and engaging environment. Whether your child is preparing for a STEM Fair or just loves to tinker and explore\, this series will inspire\, educate\, and ignite their inner innovator. \n\nWorkshop Lineup:\n1. Code vs. Chance – Is Your Computer Really Random? September 19th 2025Use coding and data analysis to test the randomness of digital dice vs. real ones! Apply the Scientific Method\, form hypotheses\, and analyze results using a Micro:bit. \n2.Sock Launcher Catapult Challenge – Aim\, Launch\, Score! October 3rd 2025Engineer a working catapult to launch socks into a laundry hamper! Learn force\, motion\, and trajectory while building and testing your design. \n3. Wind Power Workshop – Design\, Build\, and Power Up! October 17th 2025Harness renewable energy by building a wind-powered lift. Work through the full Engineering Design Process while exploring the science of wind power. \n4. Conductivity Detectives – Build & Test Your Own Conductivity Device October 31st 2025Design a device that tests which materials conduct electricity. Combine engineering and scientific thinking to build\, experiment\, and draw conclusions. \n5. Weather Watchers – Can Clouds Help Us Predict the Weather? November 14th 2025Step into the role of a junior meteorologist! Observe clouds\, form weather predictions\, and explore atmospheric science through real-world simulations. \n6. Paper Creative Circuits – Light Up Your Ideas! December 5th 2025Design and build glowing greeting cards using simple and parallel circuits. Explore electricity through art and engineering in this creative challenge. \n7. Sew Creative Circuits – Stitch\, Spark\, and Shine!
