Intermediate Wig Styling Class – 6/21 & 7/19

🇺🇸 · Crash Space · Alicen Lewis

This class will go over heatstyling, creating volume, spikes, tangle-proofing longer hair and more! Are you a cosplayer who is familiar with wigs but don’t know what to do to give them that extra pizazz? A good looking wig can take your cosplay to the next level. Please note that this is an intermediate wig class meant for those with a basic knowledge of wigs (you have worn wigs many times, you’re comfortable enough that you’re not hesitant to cut one, familiar with the basic materials and tools used in wig styling). If you do not have basic wig knowledge, we request you attend any future beginner classes we may host as we won’t be able to teach the basics during this class. In this class you will be going home with the wig you learned to style on in class, wig head, a small wig cutting kit and a wig cap. Please note that the tools are sharp and careful handling is advised. The wig and wig caps for this class were provided by The Five Wits Friendly Wigs , a US based cosplay focused wig company that sells high quality heat resistant wigs both in universal styles and character specific ones. Please check them out for your future cosplay projects! SIGN UP HERE —- About The Teacher PiggyNukka/Nikki is a cosplayer of 22 years. She mostly cosplays as a hobby but has won awards at various cosplay contests and has even worked jobs as a professional cosplayer. Nikki has been doing wig commissions off and on since 2013 and wants to spread her knowledge to make your cosplay look the best it can.

Vom Joghurtbecher zur Bluetooth-Box – unsere jungen Tüftler bauen Lautsprecher

🇩🇪 · BFZ Berlin e.V. · BFZ User

Im Bildungs- und Forschungszentrum Berlin e.V. hatten wir heute einen tollen und sehr praxisnahen Nachmittag: Gemeinsam haben die Kinder den DIY Bluetooth Lautsprecher Bausatz aufgebaut. Nachdem wir beim letzten Treffen zunächst die Grundlagen von Lautsprechern kennengelernt und einfache Modelle aus Magnet, Spule und Joghurtbecher gebaut hatten, ging es diesmal schon an die „Profivariante“. Mit viel Konzentration, Geschick und Begeisterung entstanden funktionierende Bluetooth-Lautsprecher. Im Mittelpunkt stand dabei vor allem das saubere Arbeiten in der Elektronik: Die einzelnen Bauteile mussten korrekt auf der Platine platziert und anschließend sorgfältig verlötet werden. Dabei wurde deutlich, wie entscheidend gute Lötstellen für eine zuverlässige elektrische Verbindung und eine funktionierende Schaltung sind. Besonders beeindruckend war, wie motiviert und ausdauernd die Kinder gearbeitet haben – auch bei kniffligen Lötstellen wurde konzentriert weitergemacht, bis alles sauber saß. Am Ende waren alle stolz auf ihre selbstgebauten Boxen. Natürlich wurden die Lautsprecher direkt gemeinsam getestet – ein großartiger Abschluss für einen gelungenen Nachmittag voller Technik, Experimentieren und Spaß am Lernen.

Coding Classes for Grade 1-2 Kids in Toronto

🇨🇦 · Maker Kids · Samantha Dinelle

June 3, 2026 | MakerKids Team Looking for coding classes for Grade 1-2 kids in Toronto? Early elementary students can begin learning coding , robotics , Minecraft , and STEM skills through fun, beginner-friendly programs designed specifically for younger learners. Many parents wonder if Grade 1-2 is too early for coding classes. In reality, these early elementary years are one of the best times for kids to begin exploring STEM, coding, robotics, and Minecraft-based learning. What Coding Looks Like for Younger Kids Coding for Grade 1-2 students looks very different from what most adults expect. MakerKids lessons are designed to align with Ontario’s coding curriculum . Grade 1 students explore sequential events and simple instructions, while Grade 2 students begin working with concurrent events and more advanced interactive behaviours. At MakerKids, students in the Mini Makers program explore: Beginner Scratch coding Robotics and simple machines Minecraft STEM challenges Creative technology projects Collaborative building activities This style of learning helps younger students stay curious while gradually becoming more comfortable with technology. Many parents are surprised by how quickly children begin to understand concepts such as instructions, patterns, and testing ideas when learning feels playful and interactive. Why So Many Parents Start STEM Early Children in Grades 1-2 are naturally curious about how things work. They enjoy experimenting, building, and trying new ideas without fear of making mistakes. That makes this age group a great fit for coding and robotics classes in Toronto. Through STEM education , younger students can begin developing: Logical thinking Creativity Communication Confidence with technology Persistence when learning something new These experiences support learning far beyond coding itself. For example, when students build a game or program a robot to complete a challenge, they practice organizing ideas step by step and learning through trial and error. Those same habits can support classroom learning in subjects like math and science. Organizations like Code.org also continue highlighting the long-term value of introducing computer science concepts at an early age. A Different Kind of Screen Time One of the biggest concerns parents have today is how much time children spend on screens. STEM programs create a very different experience from passive entertainment. Instead of scrolling or watching videos, kids actively use technology to design, test, build, and create. A Minecraft lesson might involve designing systems using redstone logic, while a robotics activity could involve programming motors, lights, or sensors. At MakerKids , classes are live, instructor-led, and highly interactive. Students are constantly participating, sharing ideas, and creating something of their own. Many families notice that their children begin thinking about technology differently after joining coding or robotics programs. Computers become tools for creativity rather than just entertainment. Finding the Right Coding Program in Toronto Not every coding class is designed for younger children. For Grade 1-2 students, parents should look for programs that include: Small group learning Age-appropriate instruction Interactive activities Beginner-friendly technology Opportunities for creativity Instructors experienced with younger kids MakerKids structures classes by age group so students can learn in an environment built specifically for their stage of development. Families looking for coding classes in Toronto can also choose from several different STEM experiences, including weekly classes , camps , PA Day programs , Minecraft programs, and robotics workshops. This allows kids to explore different interests while building confidence in STEM education over time. Benefits of Coding Classes for Grade 1-2 Kids The goal of coding classes for Grade 1-2 kids is not to turn children into expert programmers overnight. The bigger focus is helping kids become comfortable exploring new ideas, trying different approaches, and expressing creativity through technology. If you’re looking for coding classes for kids in grades 1-2 in Toronto, MakerKids offers coding, robotics, Minecraft, and STEM classes at its Leaside, Bloor West, and Mississauga locations, as well as online programs for families outside the GTA. Questions? Contact MakerKids at info@makerkids.com or call 416-385-3577 to learn more about weekly classes, camps, and STEM programs for kids.
