FilmmakingWe will start Techniteer Troupe by learning about filmmaking.
Our Techniteers will create films that will teach others about the Midvalley PAWS rules, digital citizenship, and more! Each Techniteer will create a film to enter into the Canyons District Film Festival! |
SpheroLater in the year, our Techniteer Troupe will learn about coding using Spheros.
Spheros are programable robot balls, and they're a ton of fun! |
Makey MakeyAnother tool we will use in our Techniteer Troupe is Makey Makey. We will explore electric circuits and the Invent to Learn process as we build better instruments, games, and more using the Makey Makey circuit board.
