Why iCode Princeton ❤️ this event 🪐 Looking for the perfect local “staycation” activity for Spring Break? Just down the road in Trenton, the NJ State Museum is opening up their high-tech Planetarium for back-to-back weekday shows! Kids can marvel at our galaxy in The Great Solar System Adventure or learn how modern satellites monitor our planet in We Are Guardians. Plus, if you’ve got younger makers (ages 2–8), you can swing by the museum’s Discovery Den on April 18th for a special Earth Day Story Time & Craft! It’s the perfect blend of high-tech space science and hands-on environmental exploration.

How this event aligns with iCode Princeton 🌈⚙️ Space exploration and environmental science are powered entirely by code and engineering! The concepts kids explore at the museum are the exact same foundations we build on in our labs:

• From Planetariums to Programming: The satellites and rovers kids see on the planetarium dome are programmed by real software engineers. In our Python, Java, and Drone Programming Belts, we teach the core logic and languages used by real aerospace engineers to launch rockets and gather data!

• Earth Day Tech Solutions: Protecting our planet requires out-of-the-box thinking. Our students use that same problem-solving mindset in our 2D/3D Design & 3D Printing classes, where they learn to design sustainable prototypes and engineer smart solutions.

• Hands-On Crafting to Tech Innovation: The Discovery Den crafts are a great introduction to the maker mindset. We level up those early tactile skills in our STEAM Junior tracks! By replacing glue and paper with Snap Circuits and block-coding, we help early learners transition from traditional crafts to building interactive technology.

Join the fun, then keep the momentum going at iCode 🎒🚀 Take a quick trip to the State Museum this Spring Break to explore the stars and celebrate Earth Day. Then, bring that curiosity right over to iCode Princeton so your child can learn how to build the tech that explores the universe!
