Engineering Wizards: Beyond LEGO

17 Sessions — Ages: 10-12

 

[We running this lab every Mon at 6 pm OR Sat at 2.30 PM]
Duration: 90 mins

​

Using the LEGO WeDo 2.0 programming interface and electronic components, students will build their first robots and program the movements and reactions of robots to their surroundings.

​

Each subsequent lesson will provide an immersive exploration into the history of technology, spanning from ancient times to the modern era. Through this well-structured curriculum, children will gain fundamental knowledge of programming and robotics, empowering them to apply logical and mathematical abilities to practical problem-solving.

​

Also, classes accommodate knowledge checkpoints in a gaming manner.

​

Course classes:
1. Robbie: Distance sensor, gear transmission: gearing up, gearing down.
2. Eagle: Tilt Sensor. Belt transmission and cranking mechanism
3. Fish: Orientation by Line, Distance sensor, gear transmission
4. Spider: Walking Robot
5. Vibration Walker: Vibration
6. Robotic Arm: Picking Up Objects

​

Over the course, kids will familiarize themselves with mechanisms, gears, friction, cranks, etc. In addition, kids will learn basic programming approaches. Those engineering lessons are designed to inspire and teach.

​

In every lesson kids will find:

​

extensive introduction illustrated with graphics and animations,
detailed instructions for building the model,
step-by-step programming guide with a comprehensive explanation
educational mini-challenges and other extras,
interactive quizzes
