Event link: MercerMe – Tech Night In

Who itโ€™s for: Families, Kids, and Teens

Why we love it ๐Ÿ’› How well do you know your childโ€™s digital world? We absolutely love this initiative because it proves that technology doesnโ€™t have to be a wall between usโ€”it can be a bridge! Hosted in partnership with the Hopewell Valley Municipal Alliance, the Digital Wellness Initiative, and the Hopewell Valley Regional School District, Tech Night In is a community-wide invitation for families to explore technology together. By using their provided prompts for interactive, tech-based family activities, parents and kids can spark real conversation and connection instead of scrolling solo.

How this event aligns with iCode Princeton ๐ŸŒˆโš™๏ธ Moving kids from passive tech consumers to active tech creators is our core mission! Cultivating a healthy relationship with screens starts at home, and when your family is ready to take those digital interests to the next level, here is how we turn screen time into skill-building time:

  • ๐ŸŽฎ From Playing to Programming: Did you spend your Tech Night In playing a co-op video game together? At iCode, kids don’t just play the games,

  • they build them! In our Game Development Track, students learn the logic, level design, and coding needed to build their very own playable worlds in engines like Roblox, Minecraft, and Construct 3.

  • ๐Ÿค– Collaborative Problem Solving: If your family enjoyed solving a digital puzzle or coding challenge together, your child will thrive in our STEAM After-School Belt Program. We teach kids how to collaborate on complex projects, progressing from beginner block coding all the way to writing real syntax in Python and Java.

  • ๐ŸŽจ Digital Art & Media: Did a digital scavenger hunt or photo-sharing activity spark some creativity? In our Content Creator & Digital Media tracks, students learn the professional software behind digital storytelling, video editing, and graphic design to share their own unique perspectives.

Join the fun, then keep the momentum going at iCode ๐ŸŽ’๐Ÿš€ Start with an awesome family tech night in your living room, then bring that collaborative, creative energy to iCode Princeton where we turn healthy screen time into lifelong tech skills!
