LA Maker Faire

Written By Emily Kosciuk

I volunteered for the 2023 LA Maker Faire, teaching kids how to move a robot with code.

With the South Los Angeles Robotics booth, a mobile afterschool program, we showed how coding with Scratch, a simplified program for beginners, can strengthen logical problem-solving, increase creativity, and build teamwork. Interviewing the founders, I found that kids as young as 8 pick up languages like HTML, Python, and C++, build the mechanics for a compatible robot, and compete internationally. 

I found the experience, both teaching and learning, pretty gratifying and so much fun.
