FUTURE CREATORS WELCOME YOU

Create your own technology project today

ABOUT US

Future Creators is an interactive workshop series for future-engineers in grades 6-12 who are ready to explore their inner creativity and develop their own technology-based projects. We seek to encourage future creators and innovators by filling the gap in education, providing children with the tools, knowledge, and mentors to bring their own tech-related ideas and original projects to life.

ACTIVITIES

Through a series of introductory lessons and small projects that increase in difficulty, students will learn the basics of coding, Arduino, and 3D printing software.

ARDUINO

Students are introduced to electric basics such as, voltage, current, ground, get to learn PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Design, and will have a chance to build and code their own circuit board.

3D PRINTING

Our team strives to give you all the basics in 3D printing to be used for your own projects. We cover a wide range of topics such as: 3D printer operation and troubleshooting techniques, introduction to dimensioning, and 3D modeling. With the help of our knowledgeable mentors, all you need is a laptop and a dash of creativity to turn ideas into reality.

SOFTWARE/HARDWARE BASICS

In this section, our team will be teaching you the basics of coding. There are various coding languages but we have chosen to teach you a language called "C". We will be covering topics such as variables, decision making statements and some basics of what constitutes a function in programming.

  • Time is TBD
    University of Alberta , 8440 112 St NW, Edmonton, AB T6G 2B7, Canada
    This workshop will depend on the age range of students - it can range from creating a video game in Scratch to using conditionals in C language to develop a sophisticated program that will strengthen their knowledge of using variables, functions to become proficient and have fun doing it too!

  • Time is TBD
    University of Alberta, 116 St & 85 Ave, Edmonton, AB T6G 2R3, Canada
    This hands-on, interactive workshop introduces the basics of connecting circuits and connecting/programming an Arduino microcontroller (a mini computer that can be used as the brain of many tech projects!) You'll light up an LED, turn in on/off with a button, and change its brightness with a sensor!
