Why we love it: Mercer County Library’s Little STEAMers introduces toddlers to the magic of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math through playful, hands-on exploration—exactly the kind of curiosity-first mindset we nurture every day at iCode Princeton. events.mcl.org

How this event aligns with iCode Princeton 🌈⚙️

• Creative + Tech Fusion: Little learners explore colors, shapes, building, patterns, and simple cause-and-effect—the perfect on-ramp to iCode’s blend of creativity and technology. As kids grow, we connect those same concepts to beginner-friendly 2D & 3D design and 3D printing projects, turning noodle-necklace ingenuity into real-world prototypes.

• From Tots to Techies: We meet students right where they are with STEAM Junior (Snap Circuits + block coding), then level up into robotics, game design, and AI-infused projects through our progression-based STEAM After-School Belt Program.

• Playful Foundations, Real Skills: Today it’s watercolors and wooden blocks; tomorrow it’s Roblox/Minecraft game design, VEX robotics, and web & mobile app dev—all guided by trained instructors and tech mentors.

Join the fun—then keep the momentum going at iCode 🎒🚀

Perfect iCode Pairings for Little STEAMers 🎯

• 🎨 Art & Making → 2D/3D Design + 3D Printing
  Start with shapes and symmetry; grow into Tinkercad modeling and print their first mini-creations.

• 🤖 Tech & Tinkering → Coding + Robotics
  From cause-and-effect play to block coding, sensors, and VEX robot builds (teams and challenges included!).

• 🎥 Storytime & Sounds → Content Creator Track
  When your child starts telling stories about their projects, channel it into YouTube Creator / Digital Media: photography, videography, editing, and audio mixing.
