Grab a pick axe and join your fellow Minecraftians for a weekly class of game design, world creation, exploration, and modding madness! When it comes to discovery and education within Minecraft, the options are truly limitless. We stress designing, building, and creating as opposed to strictly ‘playing’ the game. We encourage growth and learning through the Minecraft platform, which engages children to learn because of their love for Minecraft. Club members will learn about electrical engineering, circuit boards, landscape design, modding, command blocks, architecture, and more. These techniques will enable kids to experiment with coding techniques, work together to create a LAN game, design and build mechanical devices, and learn about different types of automation, all in a virtual world for real-world applications.
Times & Costs:
Class meets every Saturday morning, 9:00am – 10:30am.
Club membership requires a monthly payment of $80 through a credit card or bank account on file with Empow. Monthly payments are processed on the same calendar day that you sign up (Sept 12th, Oct 12th, Nov 12th, etc). We offer a 10% discount for multi-class registrations, and our classes are completely free to existing After-School Club members.

AT A GLANCE: GIRLS STEAM CLUB
EMPOWERING GIRLS IN STEAM
Girls… They’re awesome problem solvers, creators, designers, and collaborators. So why is it that girls claimed only 19% of all bachelor’s degrees in engineering and 18% in computer science in 2014? Our Girls STEAM Club tries to bring some balance to the world by exploring coding and engineering through projects in animation, robotics, 3D modeling, fashion, and design. Our female teachers will build the group’s confidence and knowledge with a new challenge each week, giving the group a taste of a wide variety of technologies. No prior experience is required.

Robotics Club at Empow Studios is a cooperative, welcoming group where kids work together to accomplish challenges and missions, inspired by FLL – the FIRST LEGO League. Whether your child is looking to build and program their first robot, or start training for the 2017 FLL competition, these weekly classes cover the coding and engineering needed to make autonomous robots. We use LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 kits, the newest version of LEGO robotic software and equipment. This club is open for kids in grades 2-8.
We built our FLL table to match the qualified specifications regulated by FLL, that way future competitors will be well-prepared for the season. Never heard of FLL? No problem! Check out our FIRST LEGO League team page for more details.

Coding Club at Empow Studios is for kids who want to try their hand at creating games, animations, and applications by writing code. Club members will start with fundamental concepts using Scratch, an easy-to-understand, block-based, drag & drop coding language. Once kids are familiar with the basic concepts, we introduce Java, an industry standard language used in many of the applications running on your Android device, and in the 2nd best-selling video game of all time, Minecraft.

Our Teaching Approach
Our Teaching Approach
We have always been focused on getting girls and boys across a wide range of interests and ages excited about the creative power of technology. As educators, we’re also constantly trying to improve our practices and tools. This year, we’re introducing a new system that will support both of these goals: Talent Box.
Each child’s accomplishments are acknowledged in a way that is motivating, lasting, and flexible through the use of badges. Badges are awarded when kids complete tracks in specific technologies, and are also awarded for leveling-up in cross-disciplines, including secret unlockable badges! Kids choose projects that level-up in three domains: Art & Design, Building, and Coding.

About Us
Empow Studios brings technology, arts, and play together to help young learners discover and build on their creative talents.
The need for basic technology literacy is great, and the list of tools and technologies that can excite and engage children is ever-growing. Our goal is to empower kids to become creators of videos, games, 3D models, and designs that they are proud to share with family & friends, and learn the fundamentals of engineering and computer science in the process. Every kid should have a chance to develop life-long interest in STEM.
