The Valley Learning Center at Moraine Valley Community College is now registering for its summer eFun STEM Academy. Kids ages 6 to 18 will be challenged by an adult mentor to solve real world-inspired science, technology, engineering, and mathematics challenges. Some classes begin June 15, with additional classes starting throughout the summer. Kids have 23 classes to choose from; however, each class is designed for a particular age group. Each class is one week, but times and costs vary. Lego builders have a variety of classes to enroll in, including Lego Moviemaking: Star Wars, Lego Moviemaking: Minecraft, Lego Moviemaking: Marvel’s Avengers, The LEGO Movie: Make Your Own!, and Lego Master Builder/Programmer. In Youth Robotics: Soccer and Youth Robotics: Wild Animals, students will build and program up to six LEGO models. Teens can register for an Android App Programming or Microsoft App Studio class to learn how to develop software applications for their personal use or to sell in the Windows Phone Store.
Game Programming I, II and III introduce the programming concepts behind popular online games such as Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies and Club Penguin. Students in these classes will be given lab time to implement their own game using a programming tool. Younger kids ages 6 to 9 who enroll in Tech Time: Frozen, Tech Time: Minecraft or Tech Time: The LEGO Movie will develop their own stories using their favorite characters. At the end of each course, students can show family and friends the stories they created. Register today in person at the Registration Office, located in Building S, Room S103 on campus, 9000 W. College Pkwy., Palos Hills, or by calling (708) 974-2110 (TTY 711).
