Project “Become the Best!” uses NCLab’s self-paced courses to teach Computer Programming and 3D Modeling. The project is located at the Badin High School in Hamilton, OH. “New this year: You will be developing Geometry, 3D Modeling, and CAD Design skills that are essential STEM skills for engineering, math, medical, and architecture careers–among others. We’ll
NCLab presentation at CUE 2014 receives outstanding rating from participants!
The last section of the self-paced online 3D modeling course in NCLab teaches students how to create rotational surfaces and solids based on Bezier curves. The one cool thing about the Bezier curves is that they can be used without understanding the underlying math. Is that a bad thing? Well, perhaps you can ask yourself
The Karel programming course for beginners was tested for the first time on touchscreen computers during a Science Night at the Caughlin Ranch Elementary School in Reno. This was an amazing experience! Of course the mouse controls and keyboard controls still worked, but using the touchscreen to guide the robot was something different. Overall this
NCLab’s self-paced online STEM courses include computer programming and 3D modeling. The 3D modeling course includes elements of Python programming, to solve elegantly tedious tasks such as to build an Egyptian pyramid with numerous steps, build a concert podium with a long staircase, or build a railroad with many wooden ties! Every K-12 school is
Based on a growing demand for computer programming and 3D modeling among K-12 students in the Reno-Sparks area, we will offer the first NCLab Winter Camp this winter. For more information, please visit the Camp’s web page!
NCLab’s new self-paced online 3D modeling course was first tested today in our afterschool program for 4-5 graders at the Roy Gomm Elementary School in Reno. Our fear that kids would find the games boring or too challenging, or that they would not like typing code, was quickly dissolved. THEY LIKED IT! Amazingly, they did
CUE is our favorite event – we always meet many teachers who are enthusiastic about STEM and eager to learn new things. NCLab is a bottomless resource for such creative minds. This year, Fall CUE took place at American Canyon High School which is located close to Napa. Certainly one of the largest and fanciest high
NCLab was presented tonight at a STEM Night organized by the Hug High School in Reno. As usual, we were the only table related to computer programming and 3D modeling. The interest of both the kids and the parents was enormous. Here is Brad, the first NCLab’s Program Manager. Awesome communicator and great organizer, with
In September 2014 we completed the first round of after school programs in Reno, trained teachers in Mineral County SD, hosted K-12 school workshops at UNR, and added lots of new functionality to NCLab. First Round of After School Programs Completed! The first month of NCLab computer programming and 3D modeling after school programs in
