🐷 Engineering with a Story: “The Three Little Pigs” Architecture + STEAM at iCode Princeton! 🏡✨

Event: Kids: eSTEAM Club: “The Three Little Pigs” Architecture

When: Monday, March 23, 2026, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM (Registration opens March 13)

Where: Princeton Public Library – Myra & Van Williams Spark Lab

Event link: Princeton Library eSTEAM Club

Who it’s for: Kids in Grades 1 to 4

Why we love it 💛 We absolutely love when storytelling meets science! In this awesome eSTEAM Club session, local Princeton High School students will mentor younger kids through a hands-on architectural challenge inspired by the classic fairy tale, The Three Little Pigs. Kids will learn how to apply real design concepts to build a “durable house.” Programs like this are fantastic because they take a familiar, creative story and use it to introduce foundational STEM concepts in a highly engaging, hands-on environment. Plus, we love seeing older students step up to mentor the next generation of builders!

How this event aligns with iCode Princeton 🌈⚙️ At iCode, we know that the best way to learn engineering is by actually building something! The problem-solving skills kids use to build a “wolf-proof” house are the exact same mechanics we teach in our advanced hardware and design labs. Here is how we take those physical building skills to the next level:

• 📐 From Storybooks to CAD: Did your child love designing a strong house? We teach students how to bring their architectural dreams to life using digital tools! In our 2D & 3D Design tracks, kids learn how to use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to prototype, model, and 3D-print their own custom structures.

• 🤖 Build It, Then Automate It: Kids who love the tactile challenge of physical engineering will absolutely thrive in our VEX Robotics programs. We take those foundational maker skills and add real motors, sensors, and Python/Java code so their creations can actually move and interact with the world.

• 🎮 Digital World Building: Do they want to build an entire city instead of just one house? In our Game Development Track, kids use platforms like Roblox and Minecraft to engineer massive, interactive digital worlds, programming their own rules for physics and structural integrity.

Join the fun, then keep the momentum going at iCode 🎒🚀 Start with an inspiring afternoon of architecture at the library’s Spark Lab, then bring that curiosity to iCode Princeton where we turn big ideas into real-world tech skills!
