A program with national implications has come to Amherstburg thanks to a local organization.
Engineering for Kids Windsor has developed a partnership with the Libro Centre and is launching a new program for the first time in all of Canada, according to Engineering for Kids Windsor director of business development Adam Pillon.
Pillon said they offer PA Day camps at the Libro Centre, but of particular focus recently was a partnership with MagicBit. It helps young people get an introduction into coding and they can learn from pre-programmed electronics.
MagicBit was shown to do things such as follow a line on a large page or even being programmed to water flowers without a person being around.
“We’re really excited we are able to showcase it here,” said Pillon.
Engineering for Kids Windsor owner Keith Naicker said they were happy to have the rights to distribute MagicBit locally.
The camps help add on to what students are learning in school, with Pillon noting it is a STEM program that is helping teach children and youth.
“We’re all about STEM education,” added Pillon.
