Juniors

Learn how robots work in our Robo-Designers badge program! Juniors will have the opportunity to see different robots in action in the Robots IMAX movie. Then you'll discover how robots receive instructions, create your own simple algorithms, and then code a robot to carry out your commands.

Do you have what it takes to be a Tech Detective? Juniors and Cadettes will begin by practicing the art of forensic drawing by sketching a “suspect” as described by a “key witness.” Next, they learn about & practice codes and fingerprinting. Juniors will explore the role of DNA in forensics — what it is, what it does, and how it helps solve crimes. They then get to perform an experiment to extract real DNA, and finally use what they have learnt to identify someone from ancient DNA!
