Project SHIFT

Project SHIFT is a 12-week after school curriculum led by members of FRC 2601 for children between 2nd-5th grade. Primarily serving schools in New York City's District 25, Project SHIFT teaches students to create their own Scratch games through the engineering design process. After Scratch, students are introduced to Computer Aided Design (CAD) through TinkerCAD and its applications. Project SHIFT also runs in the summer, teaching at various summer camps throughout New York City.
