An
exciting introduction to the LEGO Mindstorms RCX Robotics Invention System.
Learn mechanical design, construction, programming & teamwork skills.
In pairs, using LEGO building elements, motors & sensors, students
build different robots & program them with a computer to move, react
& make sounds to solve challenges. This class is a good introduction
for kids or mentors interested in robotics competitions such as FIRST LEGO
League. The minimum age is 8 and adults are welcome to register.
Please bring a sack lunch for a 45-minute lunch break.
This
class introduces intermediate level topics in building and programming
robots using the LEGO Mindstorms RCX Robotics Invention System. Students
with previous LEGO Mindstorms experience practice mechanical design, construction,
programming and teamwork skills. In pairs, using LEGO parts, motors and
sensors, students build at least two different robot models and use a computer
to program their robots to move, react, and make sounds in order to solve
challenges. This class is good preparation for kids or mentors interested
in robotics competitions such as FIRST LEGO League. Previous LEGO
Mindstorms class or instructor approval is required for this workshop.
Bring a sack lunch for 45 minute lunch break.
An
exciting introduction to the new LEGO Mindstorms NXT Robotics System. Practice
mechanical design, construction, programming & teamwork skills. In
pairs, using LEGO building elements, motors & sensors, students build
different robots & program them with a computer to move, react &
make sounds to solve challenges. This class is good practice for kids or
mentors interested in robotics competitions such as FIRST LEGO League.
The minimum age is 8 and adults are welcome to register. Please bring
a sack lunch for a 45-minute lunch break. Robotics NXT has
a prerequisite of Robotics RCX, or instructor's approval.
Working
in pairs, using LEGO building elements, motors and sensors, students build
a robot to solve challenges from a past FIRST LEGO League robotics competition
(www.FirstLegoLeague.org).
The minimum age is 9 and adults are welcome to register. Please
bring a sack lunch for a 45-minute lunch break. Previous LEGO Mindstorms
experience is recommended for this workshop.
In
one day, build your own mini movie set and create your own animated movie
using provided LEGO mini figures or other objects you bring or make! Using
LEGO Cam and LEGO Studios software, you use a computer and video camera
to make your animated movie using stop-motion and live video techniques.
You then edit your movie and add exciting sound effects, music, narration
and titles with the LEGO Studios software. Your finished movie will be
mailed to you on a DVD. Bring a sack lunch for 45 minute lunch break.

Learn
about Robotics Vision using the LEGO Mindstorms Vision Command system.
You program a computer to react to changes in motion, color, or light.
Learn construction, programming and teamwork skills. In small teams,
program a video camera and robot to solve provided challenges. Recommended
for age 10 and up (adults are welcome to register).
This
class is an introduction to building and programming robots using the LEGO
Mindstorms Robotics Invention System. Students will 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. New challenges included for returning students.
This class is taught in six to eight 2 hour
sessions as an after-school program for third to fifth graders, or middle
school students. Contact your School regarding availability.
This
is a five-day fun and creative learning experience for kids to attend during
the summer. Kids work in pairs to solve challenges by building and
programming robots using the LEGO Mindstorms robotics kits. In addition
to having fun, participants learn about mechanical and software design,
problem solving, and teamwork skills. Beginning and Intermediate
levels available. (Click Here for more
details.)
For
students entering grades 6th – 9th. This class meets 50 minutes a
day for 4 weeks. This class is an in depth exploration of building
and programming robots using the LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System.
Students will 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 students interested in robotics competitions
such as FIRST LEGO League. Cost includes materials and computer rental
fees.
