The session will begin with a highly interactive, fun and funny magical performance, followed by instructions that will teach the audience members the algorithmic secrets behind some of the effects. Participants will leave this session with a great appreciation for how a clever algorithm can accomplish amazing things along with a handful of “magical” effects they can use to amaze their friends.","SessionType":"Kidz Mash","Tags":["Other"],"Category":"Programming Principles","Speakers":[{"Id":"830f1a99-3581-4dfa-9602-0c917b2ab4fe","FirstName":"John","LastName":"Macko","GravatarUrl":"//www.gravatar.com/avatar/a8792d2f22de9227bbe5514012314b59"}]},{"Id":3843,"SessionTime":"0001-01-01T00:00:00","SessionStartTime":"2016-01-06T13:30:00","SessionEndTime":"2016-01-06T14:30:00","Room":null,"Rooms":["Acacia - Sessionz"],"Title":"Super Family Fun with Squishy Circuits!","Abstract":"Come have some fun building cool animals, cars, super heroes, or anything else you can imagine, that light up, vibrate, and beep!

All you do is stick LEDs right into the dough to make it work. Anyone can do it! The first 15 minutes of class the presenter will help you build a simple circuit with LEDs. Then you can use a printed guide (which you get to keep) to select a fun project to work on, or let your imagination run wild and build something crazy! No electronics experience required.

Learn how to make fermented foods - the base ingredients needed, dos and don’ts, the fundamental techniques of fermenting, and keeping cultures alive and thriving. Attendees will put the basics of fermentation to use by starting their own culture during the session and can take them home. Fermentation is a great real world example of how agile product development is iterative and utilizes fast feedback to make a better product.","SessionType":"Kidz Mash","Tags":["Soft Skills / Business"],"Category":"Project Leadership/Soft Skills","Speakers":[{"Id":"a707b7f6-c72e-4076-9a8f-77685bf6c834","FirstName":"Carina","LastName":"Silfverduk","GravatarUrl":"//www.gravatar.com/avatar/a2bf4e53313eaf490ea14151292dd246"}]},{"Id":5331,"SessionTime":"0001-01-01T00:00:00","SessionStartTime":"2016-01-06T16:20:00","SessionEndTime":"2016-01-06T17:20:00","Room":null,"Rooms":["Acacia - Sessionz"],"Title":"CodeMash Factory Tour for KidzMash guided by MIcrosoft","Abstract":"Please be certain to fill out a wavier before the event.

But how does a robot \"see\" the world? In this session, you'll get to see a variety of robots and learn how they sense their environment so they can perform their jobs. Some robots are human-like with the ability to see, hear, and touch. Some have sensing capabilities that mimic other biological animals. Others have superhero-like capabilities that are only possible because of specialized technology. Now it's up to you to combine these ideas to design the next awesome robot!","SessionType":"Kidz Mash","Tags":["Hardware"],"Category":"Hardware","Speakers":[{"Id":"9fc541a8-60de-4bb3-b4ae-cbd13ae6ce0a","FirstName":"David","LastName":"Resseguie","GravatarUrl":"//www.gravatar.com/avatar/f75793412ac9a8253b6773356fb3d59e"}]},{"Id":3345,"SessionTime":"0001-01-01T00:00:00","SessionStartTime":"2016-01-08T12:00:00","SessionEndTime":"2016-01-08T13:00:00","Room":null,"Rooms":["Acacia - Sessionz"],"Title":"The Marshmallow Challenge","Abstract":"The Marshmallow Challenge is a remarkably fun and instructive design exercise that encourages teams to experience simple but profound lessons in collaboration, innovation and creativity.
