iCode Fishers at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Rule the Road: Where STEM Meets the Streets!
On September 29th, iCode Fishers is revving up for an exciting day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Rule the Road event! Join us for hands-on activities that showcase the fascinating connection between technology and real-world applications like road safety.
Participants will have the chance to:
- Build robot motors
- Code alert circuits that simulate real-world safety systems
- Automate a robot mouse to find its cheese, using problem-solving skills and coding logic
The Road Ahead: Connecting Technology and Real-World Safety
At iCode Fishers, we believe coding is not just about writing lines of code—it’s about learning critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical skills that apply to real-life situations. Just like programming cars to navigate roads safely, our students will use code to develop skills in automation and robotics that could one day power real-world systems.
Learning to Drive is Like Learning to Code
Think about learning to drive—it’s a process that requires practice, patience, and precision. Coding is the same way:
- Creates Independence: Just like driving, coding provides the skills needed to navigate the world independently.
- It’s Not About Being the Best: Both driving and coding are skills you continuously improve with practice.
- Practice is Key: Whether it’s staying safe on the road or debugging a program, persistence and attention to detail matter.
- Jobs and Opportunities: Some of tomorrow’s most exciting jobs will require coding skills, just like some will need safe drivers.
From getting safely from A to B, to mastering the art of coding, both driving and programming are pathways to independence and future opportunities. At iCode Fishers, we’re excited to inspire young learners to take the wheel and drive their futures forward!
