Take your coding skills on an adventure by guiding a critter through challenging mazes using Scratch’s block-based coding. Program your critter to make smart, independent choices, scan the terrain, and remember the successful paths for future trips. Learn about AI and machine learning as your critter adapts and improves as you build it new challenges.

Unlock your creativity and become a Minecraft mastermind by engineering your own interactive escape room. Discover the secrets of redstone, Minecraft’s powerful circuit system, to build traps, locks, and hidden mechanisms. Design devious challenges and clever contraptions that will keep players guessing at every turn. Along the way, you’ll test your creations, collaborate with teammates, and fine-tune your designs—just like a professional engineer.

Step into a sparkling winter wonderland of science, because the cold never bothered us anyway! Make “frozen” slime, craft delicate six-pointed snowflakes, and create a magical indoor snowstorm. Grow shimmering frost crystals, build a snow globe that defies gravity, and design a dazzling frozen forest. Then warm up by making your own cozy hand warmers.
