Mouse Presents in the 2017 NYC CS Fair Maker Space

Hundreds of NYC students visited Mouse and made light-up pins at the 2017 NYC Computer Science Opportunity Fair, the city’s largest college and career inspiration event for public high school students studying computer science.

A steady stream of students visited the Mouse both with the draw of the LEDs, until almost all students left the event with their custom-made light-up pins. Read more and see photos >

3D Design, Virtual Reality, and Sewable Tech @ Mouse Maker Day

The Mouse House was filled with makers of all ages for our April Maker Day, creating virtual reality glasses, designing in 3D, playtesting our new “sewable tech” content, coding, and so much more!

See photos and sign up for our next Maker Night on May 4th.

Mouse_California Makers in Action

We were thrilled to visit students and educators in several sites across Mouse_California with our partner Joseph H. Flom Foundation as part of our work to evaluate bringing our learning content to elementary school youth.

We especially appreciated being invited to attend the STEM & EdTech Symposium held at Valley View Middle School. See photos >
