  • Shannon will share additional resources and tutorials to keep the coding journey going even after class.
  • With step-by-step guidance and plenty of interaction with Shannon and classmates, students will stay engaged and motivated throughout this experience.
  • Recommended for ages 8–14.
Class length: 60 minutes.
Comes with the class: Our Create Your Own Video Game Set has all the components kids will need to build and program their own fully functional video game console that also functions as a smartwatch, pedometer, and more.

To purchase this Uncommon Experience, you must be at least 18 years old and provide your email address when ordering. If you’re giving this Experience as a gift, your recipient must be the child’s parent or legal guardian, not the child. A parent or legal guardian must be able to attend the live virtual class with their child, using their Zoom account (not an account belonging to the child or their school). Live Experiences for kids are not recorded, and none of the children’s personal information will be collected, used, or disclosed.

To give this Experience as a gift, simply purchase the class for the date/time you think will work for your recipient and their child. If that doesn’t work for them, no worries! Send an email that includes your order confirmation number to [email protected] at least 48 hours prior and we’ll help get them moved into a scheduled class that works better for them. Please note: By default, order confirmations and event details are sent to the purchaser’s email. If you'd like this information to go to your gift recipient instead, select "this is a gift" under your chosen date. Once in your cart, you can enter the recipient's email address and choose a delivery date for the class confirmation email.

About

Both crafting and teaching come naturally to Shannon Sadler: She grew up in a crafts-loving home in small-town Ohio and was DIY-ing by hand as soon as she was old enough to hold a paintbrush. Some of Shannon's fondest memories involve time spent making things with family and friends, and as a middle-school teacher for seven years, Shannon also loved using creativity and experiments to spark her students' curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world around them.

For this class, you'll need the included Create Your Own Video Game set and two computers or a computer and tablet.
