🐉 3D Prototyping: Dragon Boat Craft + iCode Maker Mindset! 🛠️💻

Event: Dragon Boat Festival Craft

When: Saturday, May 9, 2026, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Registration opens April 18)

Where: SCLSNJ Warren Township Branch – Program Room (Children) (42 Mountain Blvd, Warren, NJ)

Event link: SCLSNJ Warren Township Events

Who it’s for: Families with Children

Why we love it 💛 Engineering is a global language! To celebrate the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, the SCLSNJ Warren Township Branch is hosting a fantastic, hands-on crafting session for families presented by the Center for Cultural and Creative Exchange. Kids will get to explore the legend of the festival, discover how families celebrate, and make scented sachets that were historically believed to protect children from illness. We absolutely love cultural maker events like this because they perfectly blend global history, visual art, and physical construction into one incredibly engaging hour!

How this event aligns with iCode Princeton 🌈⚙️ Building physical crafts is the ultimate exercise in structural prototyping!

• The Maker Mindset: Taking raw materials and transforming them into a 3D structural object requires incredible spatial logic. At iCode, we teach our students the “Maker Mindset.” Before our students write a line of code or assemble a robot in our STEAM Junior and Robotics Tracks, they have to sketch out their ideas and build prototypes—just like engineering a traditional craft!

• Structural Design: A real dragon boat requires brilliant engineering to stay afloat while supporting the weight of a racing team. When kids practice building models and making structural crafts, they are laying the groundwork for complex architectural thinking, which translates perfectly to 3D rendering and structural design in our advanced tech labs!

Join the fun, then keep the momentum going at iCode 🎒🚀 Build and celebrate at the library, then bring that world-class curiosity to iCode Princeton where we turn physical prototyping into lifelong tech innovation!
