Club Buccaneer SPRING 2025 Offerings:    

http://www.clubbuccaneer.org/

 

Club Buccaneer is proud to be hosting (and expanding!) its 8th year of high-quality MBE teacher-led clubs in the 2024-2025

school year. Our club leaders’ collective experience, advanced degrees and certifications, and daily knowledge of our amazing

MBES community allows for well-organized, engaging, and much-enjoyed after-school experiences for Buccaneers from K-5th.

• BugBytes: Jr. Coding and Robotics

Led by Ms. Griffee

http://www.clubbuccaneer.org/

Wednesdays: Grades K-2, 2:30-3:30

​

Coding with young children opens their eyes to the world inside of computers, as well as the world around them. Software is the language of our modern world. 

 

While not every child will grow up to be a software engineer, it’s crucial they understand computational thinking as it combines math and logic and helps promote higher levels of problem solving. Programming is shown to be beneficial to cognitive development, working the language centers in the frontal cortex in unique and powerful ways. When we increase our computational thinking, our brains form new neural connections while strengthening existing ones. 

 

Club Buccaneer’s latest FACT Club offering, BugBytes: Jr. Coding and Problem Solving, will provide your young child with opportunities to increase their computational thinking and ability to tackle mental challenges in new and creative ways. Each week, your child will develop computational thinking skills through both digital and analog methods, including: Osmo Coding, Scratch Jr., Tynker, LEGO Coding Express, Hour of Code, Kodable, and brain training exercises including fun logic games, puzzles, brain teasers, and more!
