Monday was our grand opening to Fab Lab 4 Kids: A Computer Class Just 4 Kids in grades 3-6. It’s not just a class where you can surf the web and listen to a teacher telling you about websites…boring!
This is a one hour class focused on one software per meeting. This past Monday we learned about a software called ArtRage. It’s an online drawing software that allows you to import pictures and edit them. Then with the skills you learn, your picture will become your very own masterpiece. How cool is that! What’s even cooler is you can download it for free!
If you missed this class, no worries, because on October 19th you’ll have a chance to create your own online game show!!! When you stop byKidSpace, check out some of our materials on the subject of computers. See you then!
Until we meet again,

Please follow Little Pig 1 and tell your friends, too! They’ll never be in the dark about what to do with the kids!
