Kids will build and explore machines and mechanisms, investigate motorized machines and study gearing mechanisms with the simple and motorized LEGO^® brick set. We’ll learn about gears, pulleys and machines. We’ll make cars and robots that move with motors. If you like building with LEGO bricks you’ll love these new concepts for building and developing mechanical understanding of the world around us. Sprinkled between builds will be opportunities to team build and problem solve in groups.

This is a hands-on LEGO Mindstorms NXT Robotics class, with microprocessor-powered robots students can program. Along the way, campers will develop critical thinking and problem solving skills while working on projects that challenge them to think logically, troubleshoot, and learn from each other. We'll only be spending some time building robots from instructions while the majority of the time will be spent programming in a simple graphical language in order to make those robots run. We'll set up obstacle courses and learn ways to effectively manipulate the robots. No previous programming experience necessary.
