Why iCode Princeton ๐ this event We are absolutely stargestruck by the New Jersey State Museumโs Planetarium! They recently upgraded to an ultra-high resolution 8K projection system, making it one of the most immersive, high-tech visual experiences in the area. This monthโs incredible lineup includes Secrets of the Universe, Stars!, Climate Change in Our Backyard, and Spark: The Universe in Us. Taking your kids to see the cosmos on a massive dome isn’t just a fun weekend outing, itโs a masterclass in how cutting-edge technology can be used to tell awe-inspiring stories about our world!
How this event aligns with iCode Princeton ๐โ๏ธ
-
Immersive Tech & 3D Worlds: That massive 8K planetarium dome is the ultimate immersive environment! When kids are awestruck by flying through 3D galaxies, we can teach them how to actually build those immersive worlds in our Game Design (Roblox/Minecraft/Fortnite) and VR tracks.
-
The Ultimate Engineering Feat: Exploring space is the pinnacle of STEM. The same curiosity that makes a child wonder how a satellite orbits a planet is the exact same engineering mindset they will use when programming their first VEX Robot or Drone in our labs!
-
From Stargazers to Techies: Space is all about dreaming big. We take that grand inspiration and bring it down to Earth, giving kids the practical coding and design tools they need to turn their sci-fi dreams into digital reality through our STEAM After-School Belt Program.
Join the fun, then keep the momentum going at iCode ๐๐ After your family explores the stars in Trenton, bring those future astronauts and engineers over to the iCode Princeton campus to start building their own worlds!
