Engineering Through Play
Lego has always been the best toy to build things. With Lego Mindstorm, kids in the St Clare Robotics club will be exposed to basic engineering concepts through Lego Bricks that they are already used to playing with.
Programming Concepts
Through Lego Block Programming, kids will learn programming concepts such as Variables, Operators, Loops, Events, Control Structures, Sequencing, Logic and Functions.
Discover and Learn Cool Technology
Kids will discover cool technologies and learn how they help today’s robotics and devices to interact with the real world. Kids will experience Touch Sensors, Color Sensors, Light Sensors, Ultrasonic Sensors that measure distance between objects, Gyro Sensors that detect rotation forces, Infra Red Sensors and Beacons to allow robots to move around their environment and complete challenges.
Promote Creativity, Teamwork and Presentation Skills
Kids will discover creativity and design. They will learn teamwork skills and presentation skills and they design their robot creations and present and share their designs with the rest of the class.
