This course is tailored for budding inventors passionate about bringing their imaginative ideas to life through the power of LEGO®. Participants will embark on a journey to design, build, and program a variety of unique LEGO® inventions, ranging from automated machines to dynamic gadgets. Through hands-on projects, students will enhance their engineering, coding, and problem-solving skills. As they build and test their creations, students will gain insight into the process of invention and innovation, learning how these skills apply not just in the realm of LEGO® but in the real world of technology and design.
This unique program offers students an engaging experience, combining the physical excitement of sports with the intellectual challenge of robotics. Using LEGO® Education kits, students delve into robot construction and coding, gaining hands-on experience in a playful yet educational environment. The camp focuses on sports-themed challenges, allowing students to create robots that mimic athletes in soccer, basketball, and track events. This approach provides learning opportunities and immerses students in the spirit of competition and teamwork.
In this immersive and hands-on course, students will step into the future of transportation, learning how to build and program autonomous LEGO® robots that can navigate various challenges. This course is designed for advancing engineers eager to explore the intersection of robotics and transportation while deepening their understanding of robotics and coding. Students will build different vehicles (Bumper cars, ATVs, Drag race cars, and others) and test them on custom tracks. Students will discover how these systems transform how we move in the 21st century.
For our advancing robot engineers, join the elite group of recruits to become a spy-in-training. Agents in training will receive their super-secret mission during each camp and then learn to build and code a robot that will have to move through obstacles to retrieve top-secret documents. They will be challenged to incorporate technology concepts, engineering principles, and programming using the LEGO© robotics Construction Kits. Campers will learn how to break or make codes, learn coding, surveillance techniques, critical thinking, and solve logic puzzles. Each camp has new missions!
