| Welcome to Our May Update |
| May has been a milestone month for iCode Chatham, and we are just getting started. From officially cutting the ribbon on our campus to hosting Girl Scouts for a hands-on robotics event, our community is coming alive in ways that remind us every day why we built this center. We are grateful for the warm welcome Chatham has given us, and we cannot wait to share what is coming next. |

| 🤖 Girl Scouts STEM Day — Robotics in Action |
|
|

| On May 8, we welcomed a wonderful group of Girl Scouts to iCode Chatham for a hands-on Introduction to Robotics session. Students explored real-world robotics, built VEX IQ robots from scratch, and applied the Engineering Design Process to a live robot challenge — the same six-step cycle (Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Test, Improve) that professional engineers use every day. The energy and creativity in the room were incredible. |
This is exactly the kind of community partnership we love. If you know a Girl Scout troop, school group, or community organization that would enjoy a STEM event like this, reach out to us at chatham@icodeschool.com.

| 🚀 Introducing AI Studio |
We are excited to announce the launch of AI Studio — a project-based learning environment where students build real things, guided by AI and mentored by instructors, progressing through a personalized path of milestones, challenges, and XP.
|
| AI Studio is designed for students ages 11 and up. An AI-powered evaluation builds a custom curriculum around each student’s interests and goals, while our instructors mentor them every step of the way. It is flexible, self-paced, and grounded in real-world skills. |

Summer is right around the corner and enrollment is brisk — do not wait to secure your child’s spot. Our 10-week summer camp program runs from June 22 through September 4, with weekly sessions across coding, gaming, robotics, and creative categories.
