This class utilizes hands-on learning and special LEGO kits to introduce students to
robotics as they explore concepts in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Each class begins with a short lesson about simple machines, and is followed by
constructing LEGO models using special building kits that contain motors, sensors, and
gears. The models are then activated by students writing a simple computer program.
Each model and programming will emphasize the lesson taught that day.
In each class, students will build a different model.
Throughout the class, students will be inspired to build skills in problem solving, critical
thinking and teamwork. To encourage teamwork, students will work in groups of two and
share a computer and building kit. However, items built in class cannot be taken home as
the same kit of parts is used for each class.
No experience required!
