techKids1GOOSE CREEK, S.C.–Is your child a fan of Minecraft, a budding Robotics expert, or a cartoon aficionado? The Goose Creek Recreation Center is offering three youth technology courses this fall that may be right up their alley.

โ€œAdventures in Animationโ€ will let participants create their own computer graphics, animations and games. The class will meet every Wednesday from Sept. 2 to Sept. 23 at the Casey Community Center; a session for ages 7 to 9 will be held from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m., and a 10-and-over session from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The course is the first of three offered this fall; the times and age groups will remain the same for each.

The Wednesday sessions continue with โ€œRockinโ€™ Robotics,โ€ from Sept. 30 to Oct. 21. Students will learn the basics of electricity and electronics, and work in teams to build and control a robotic vehicle.

โ€œMinecraft Maniaโ€ is the final four-week session, from Oct. 28 to Nov. 18. Participants will explore 2-D and 3-D modeling while learning computer programming in Minecraftโ€™s creative mode.

All classes will be held at the Casey Community Center. Classes are $50 for Goose Creek residents and $55 for non-residents. For more information call 572-1321 or visit www.goosecreekrecreation.com.
