SummerBots will give students an opportunity to dig deep into engineering and programming concepts through the Lego™ WeDo and Mindstorms robotics kits.  Working individually and in teams, students will create a fully-functioning robotic system, testing their solutions using LEGO building bricks and modifying their designs based on real-life conditions. Students will deepen their understandings of forces & motion, graphs & data, and gears, motors, beams, & sensors. Additionally, class discussions will focus on ideas such as autonomous behavior, sensor feedback, complex systems, the engineering design process, and how vital robots are to our daily lives. This class is ideal for kids who enjoy problem-solving, making things work, and hands-on learning. Registration
