Gardner Bullis Elementary School
After School LEGO RCX Robotics Class

LEGO ROBOTICS RCX CLASS DESCRIPTION

This class is an introduction to building and programming robots using the LEGO Mindstorms RCX Robotics Invention System.  Students practice mechanical design, construction, programming and teamwork skills. In pairs, 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.
