Some of Our New Programs
STEM Inventions with littleBits
In this invention workshop, students enhance their skills with a great new system of discovery called littleBits. It's a platform of easytouse electronic building blocks that empower you to invent anything, from your own remotecontrolled car to a smart home device. Students will begin with several inventions designed to let them figure out how the components go together, and then they will design and create their own inventions. Ages 7—12.
Introduction to Computer Animation
In this new program, you will have fun designing and creating your own videos. Students will learn the basic skills which are needed to create and animate. Whether you are making a LEGO brickfilm, producing a claymation (黏土动画) or capturing a flower's blooming, you can bring anything to life with computer animation. Ages 7—12.
Computer Programming with Ozobot
In this exciting new program，robotics and coding will become elementary！Have fun expanding your horizons with the help of Ozobot—the tiny smart robot. There is no end to the possibilities, as you create a different landscape of adventures, games and programs with Ozobot. Students will use markers, tablets and laptops for coding. Ages 7—12.
Super Science STEM Challenges
In this engineering camp, you will have fun integrating Science，Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics by building and designing a wide range of gadgets (小装置), inventive machines, towers and more.Projects include: the Great Tower Challenge, the Standing Cup Pyramid Challenge, Egg Drop Challenge and a host of other fun contests designed to bring out the engineer in you! Ages 7—12.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四个可供7至12岁孩子学习发明创造的新项目，并分别提供了每个项目的内容、优势等信息。
1．What do students acquire with littleBits?
A．The chances to have fun.
B．The skills in inventing.
C．The power to think.
D．The permission for designing.
B [细节理解题。根据题干中的littleBits可以定位到STEM Inventions with littleBits部分。根据该部分中的“It's a platform of easytouse electronic building blocks that empower you to invent anything，from your own remotecontrolled car to a smart home device.”可知，littleBits这个平台有易于组装的电子元件，就像积木一样，让你可以创造任何东西，从你自己的遥控汽车到智能家居设备。由此可知，在这个平台上，学生可以获得一些创造方面的技能，故选B项。]
