Welcome to the Hack Shack. It’s South Florida Science Center and Aquarium’s newest technology club for students in fifth to eighth grade (no hacking involved!) who want to explore computers and coding. Fox Lopez is one of them. “I really want to make my own apps and games for mobile devices and I thought the Hack Shack would be a good way to learn,” says the 11-year-old Delray Beach resident. “I also enjoy seeing what the other Hack Shackers are working on. I enjoy the interaction with other kids who like what I like.” Chris Pait with Spencer Brown, 10, of Wellington at the December session of Hack Shack. The club, which meets monthly, provides a relaxed and informal environment where kids can explore and experiment with different kinds of computer-based technology, says Chris Pait, the center’s technical programs coordinator.
