LEGO Robotics and Engineering (STEM)

Come and learn the basics of engineering and programming. The program uses STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) as the building blocks. Children learn to build, design and program robots in a fun and challenging way.

Kids will:

• Build robots using Lego bricks.
• Learn to program their models — programming concepts very similar to Scratch software.
• Work with buddies, learning how to work in teams.
• Explore important STEM concepts.

Programs:

• Programming for kids: Building robots using Legos and programming them to do tasks.
• Engineering for kids: Kids build working models such as seesaw, rolling vehicle, windmill, crane and many more using Legos. In a fun way they learn and discover basic physical science concepts such as pulleys, gears, levers, wheels and axles — exploring energy, buoyancy and balance.
• Coding: Learn coding through the storyboard technique.

Who can learn?

Classes for ages 4–13 years, in three age groups: 4–5, 6–8, and 9–13.
