When: Tuesday, May 12, 2026, 5:00 PM β 6:00 PM (Registration Required!)
Where: Mercer County Library β West Windsor Branch (333 N Post Rd, Princeton Junction, NJ)
Event link: MCLS West Windsor Events
Who itβs for: Kids Ages 5β12
Why we love it π Kids learning from older kids is one of the most powerful ways to inspire a love for science! The MCLS West Windsor Branch is hosting an incredible hands-on STEM Explorers Workshop led by a local teen presenter, Sadhana. This week’s topic is all about Buildings! Kids will learn the mechanics behind how skyscrapers are constructed, discover the strongest architectural shapes, and engage in fun, interactive engineering activities. We absolutely love youth-led mentorship events like this because seeing a high schooler master STEM concepts gives younger kids the confidence to dive into engineering themselves!
How this event aligns with iCode Princeton πβοΈ Physical architecture is the foundation of 3D modeling and hardware engineering!
-
Structural Integrity: Before you can build a robot or code an automated system, you need to understand how pieces lock together to create a sturdy physical frame. In our Robotics and Hardware Tracks, we teach kids the exact same principles of structural integrity using motors and snap circuits!
-
Systems and Building Blocks: A skyscraper uses foundational shapes to build a complex structure. In software engineering, this is exactly how object-oriented programming works! In our Python and Scratch Tracks, we teach students how to snap foundational “blocks” of code together to build massive, complex digital projects.
Join the fun, then keep the momentum going at iCode ππ Engineer a masterpiece at the library, then bring that world-class curiosity to iCode Princeton where we teach you how to digitize it!
