A Lego® Robotics Program for Elementary School Kids
Kids five to ten years old take this exciting Foundational Lego® Robotics course to get familiar with robots by building actual self-directed robots. Students learn how to use motors and sensors using physical scientific concepts including gears, pulleys, levers, wheels and axles. Robot construction is followed by writing programs in LabVIEW in a simple, drag-and-drop manner to make the Robot move, react and make sounds to solve challenges. Kids work individually and in groups. This program is designed to introduce a child to STEAM Science Technology Engineering Art & Mathematics.
What Kids Do and Learn
In this program kids get to build multiple robots using Lego® blocks from the Lego® Wedo kits that are provided in the classroom. Each robot is motion-activated and uses motors and/or sensors and gears. The full course entails building sixteen or more Robots including a couple they build using their own creative imagination and skills developed in the classroom. In many classes, kids watch a short two-minute video that introduces new concepts on Robots to them including the application of Robots in everyday life and in advanced technological fields such as in the car building industry, in space technology and in prosthetics and sports.
