Class Experience

Each session is full of projects based on Passion, Collaboration with Peers, and a Playful Spirit. It is full of hands-on Memorable, Meaningful, and Motivating activities, specially designed for girls and boys, 10-14 years old.

This class is a discovery class where the only requirement is a passion for learning and creating.

In this online live course, each student will:

- Participate in a class with other children his/her age group (10 - 14) who own a Lego Mindstorms Robot Inventor set at home, discovering how robotics engineering is a part of their everyday life. 
- Enjoy four hours of personalized project-based instruction and interest-based projects. 
- Learn to design, build, create models that will require an engineer's eye using a robotics platform designed for children. 
- Collaborate with small groups (6 students maximum per session) with one adult certified live instructor.

Learning Goals

Robotics is a growing field in our world that is constantly changing and advancing in technology. 

In this course, you will get to experience first hand what it is like to be a Robotics Engineer. You will have the opportunity to build and program your own robot through various obstacles and challenges presented throughout the class.  

For this course, students will be programming and building the Lego Mindstorms Robot Inventor. Students will be using it to learn to program robots, create their projects, and share their creations. 

Students will learn that being a Robotics Engineer starts with understanding a robot's parts and building and programming several simple tasks.  

With the instructor's guide, students will learn that they, too, can be a part of the Robotics Engineer process if they are willing to try.
