Yes, we CAN learn about robotics! With the LEGO® WeDo robotics system, young children can build and program their robotic creations. Designed by the experts at MIT, this unique system teaches children about simple machines, engineering, programming, and so much more. Young imaginations soar! The LEGO® Education WeDo Robotics Builder class allows students to explore different concepts in robotics. Possible models may include dancing birds, a hungry alligator robot, goal kicker robot, a rescue plane, and a smart spinner robot. Students will be working in pairs.

Students will team up in groups of two to three to explore the LEGO® Mindstorms robotic system and specialized Technic™ engineering components. Each day, they will design and program robots to take on exciting Olympic-style challenges that test strength, speed, and creativity. Throughout the camp, students will be encouraged to re-engineer their creations, making them stronger, faster, and more innovative. Possible projects include a shot put launcher, flipping gymnast, and sumo-bot, along with other high-energy challenges that inspire teamwork and problem solving.

Step into the world of architecture and engineering in this engaging design class created with local Twin Cities designers. Explore key architectural concepts and bring your ideas to life through creative design challenges. Learn to use TinkerCAD, a powerful 3D design tool, to plan and build digital models of your own projects. With LEGO building, uncover the science behind structures as you investigate physics, external forces, and strategies for strength and stability. Working with a partner, you will take on advanced building tasks, solve open-ended challenges, and complete hands-on projects that inspire imagination and innovation.
