Piper Computer: Build It – Code It – Play It

Activity Description

Build & Code – Hands-On STEM Fun
With the Piper Computer, kids dive into STEM by assembling a real, fully functional computer from a wooden, puzzle-style kit. Powered by a Raspberry Pi, the kit includes a screen, speaker, battery, and various components. Guided by step-by-step, story-driven blueprints, students explore engineering fundamentals and electrical circuits while building their own computer, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills.

Learn Through Minecraft: Pi Edition
Once the hardware is built, kids unlock Minecraft: Pi Edition StoryMode, a unique learning environment where they apply coding and circuitry concepts in a familiar virtual world. This engaging platform bridges physical building with digital creation, making learning interactive and fun.

Progressive Coding Adventures
Piper offers over 24 coding projects, starting with beginner-friendly drag-and-drop Blockly and advancing to PiperCode, a text-based coding language. These projects guide students from basic programming concepts to more complex challenges, building confidence and computational thinking.

Course Details
Join our exciting 5-week course for a hands-on STEM adventure! With only 6 spots available, this intimate learning experience ensures personalized attention. To keep the group learning cohesive and fun, we ask that students commit to the full course, as joining halfway isn’t possible. If you need to cancel, we’ll happily provide a refund if we can fill your spot with another eager learner, so the teamwork vibe stays strong for everyone!
