Why we love it πŸ’› It is never too early to start thinking like an engineer! The Hickory Corner branch of the Mercer County Library System is hosting a fantastic, hands-on “Discovery Time” program focused specifically on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) for early learners. Kids will get to work alongside their parents and peers to solve simple, tactile problems, explore shapes, and build with their hands. We love community events like this because they introduce young children to complex concepts through pure, pressure-free play!

How this event aligns with iCode Princeton πŸŒˆβš™οΈ The cause-and-effect thinking your preschooler practices during hands-on STEAM play is the exact same logic they will use to build their first video game!

  • Tactile Tech for Little Minds: If your child loves hands-on discovery, they will absolutely thrive in our STEAM Junior Program. We specialize in tactile learning for our youngest innovators (ages 5+), using physical tools like Snap Circuits and introductory robotics to teach early engineering without keeping them glued to a screen.

  • From Play to Programming: Once they master the basics of physical building, we transition them into our beginner-friendly block coding modules. Here, they learn how to build and program their own digital worlds using simple, visual drag-and-drop logic!

Join the fun, then keep the momentum going at iCode πŸŽ’πŸš€ Start with a morning of magical discovery at the library, then bring that world-changing imagination to iCode Princeton where we turn big ideas into lifelong tech skills!
