Ultimate Robotics Experience: Now is the time to explore and battle in uncharted territory. In this class, battle-bots evaluate the potential of a rough and dangerous area before moving in to save a Bot! Experts need you to build a variety of unique robots with an awesome skillset, capable of driving over any obstacle and overcoming any unfamiliar elements or elevation changes in this treacherous landscape. Students will use gears, create structural integrity, and IR Technology to overcome the unknown. Can your robot not only survive, but thrive in the bot-battle? Students will be introduced in the first 5 weeks basic engineering concepts and create simple builds in weeks 6-14. LEGO Technic pieces that come together to create movable, steerable, controlled robots. Students will engage in a group four with assigned roles that rotate weekly, so each student will be given a different role each week! Code Critters: Let’s meet INDI! This workshop is all about revving up STEAM learning with the INDI robot. This workshop is entry level robot that is designed to introduce early learners to the fundamentals of computational thinking, STEAM, and computer science principles. INDI encourages open ended, imaginative play-based learning with real-life scenarios as leaners build custom mazes, solve puzzles, and drive. As students learn pattern recognition, creating and using algorithms, decomposition, and understanding abstractions they will become better thinkers and problem solvers. Learning stages your child will be introduced to using INDI. Exploration – All learners will benefit to freely explore something new in every lesson. Skill Building – Skill building highlights the skills used during a specific activity. Challenge- Learners will apply their skills and ideas to successfully complete a challenge.
