LEGO
ROBOTICS RCX CLASS DESCRIPTION
This class is an introduction to building
and programming robots using the LEGO Mindstorms RCX Robotics Invention
System. Students learn mechanical design, construction, programming
and teamwork skills. In small teams, using LEGO blocks, motors and sensors,
students build robots that can walk, draw, move objects, or find their
own way and avoid obstacles. Students use a control console or computer
to teach their robots to move, react, and make sounds in order to solve
challenges. This class is good preparation for kids interested in
robotics competitions such as FIRST LEGO League. Note: This
class will repeat some projects from last year's classes, but added challenges
are always available. |
