Beginner Lego Robotics AGES 4-10

Wednesdays, 4:30-5:00 LEGO ROBOTICS for AGES 3-7 or 8-12: Fungineering & Robotics with Supply Set included Click here to Register
DROP IN $40 Per Session, or $175 for the Holiday Term

Through building mechanized or robotic models with Technic Lego® components, students are kept busy Fungineering! – exploring concepts and enhancing knowledge of physics, technology, and engineering.

Making Legos move! These hands-on, online classes use a customized Supply Set of Technic Lego components and the Engineer’s Process to focus students’ understanding of engineering and robotics through an exploration of design, basic mechanization, simple and complex gearing, locomotion, energy, law of physics and more.

Students get to thoroughly enjoy applying concepts by building, experimenting and playing with their models of real-world devices such as cars, hand mixer, drawbridge, conveyor belt, ferris wheel carousel, and much more…Learning principles of science underlying the models and scenes built provides an engaging way for students to explore important STEM concepts and enhance their knowledge of simple machines, physics, technology, mechanics, architecture, design, data analysis and visualization, problem solving or more. Our customized Supply Set of Technic Lego components is required to participate in this class.

These lessons inspire students to imagine, plan, create and play the engineer’s way!
with hands-on activities that capture children’s attention and foster their love and excitement for learning, both online and also off-line after classes and beyond the screen.

DROP IN $25 Per Session, or $110 for the Holiday Term

Grab a bucket full, or at least a few hundred Legos or forty Duplo Legos and join us as we Playgineer – explore thinking like engineers!

We’ll have blast building together with all kinds of Legos, but if possible, also bringing Technic Lego pieces like Bricks, Beams and Plates with Holes, Gears, Axles, and Bushings and Pegs will be really great too.

These hands-on, online classes use the Engineer’s Process to focus students’ understanding through imagining and constructing scenes and stories that go with our mechanized models; so creating a bakery to go with the mixer model they make, or a boat to be wheeled to shore with the mechanized crane they assemble, or a barn to store the grain produced by the windmill they build, and much more…And, then we play with what we build!

These lessons inspire students to imagine, plan, create and play the engineer’s way!
with hands-on activities that capture children’s attention and foster their love and excitement for learning, both online and also off-line after classes and beyond the screen.

LEGO ROBOTICS general info
With Legos, motors, power sources, and sometimes computers, students are introduced to concepts and enhance their knowledge of physics, technology, and engineering through hands-on explorations of simple machines (levers, pulleys, wheels, and axles), as well as basic mechanics, simple and complex gearing, and also concepts of motorization, locomotion, and sensing and programming.
Students get to thoroughly enjoy applying concepts by building, experimenting and playing with their models of real-world devices such as windmills, scales, cranes, airplanes, pirate ships, dump trucks, clocks, dune buggies, drawbridges, conveyor belts, turnstiles, race cars, moon rovers, etc., and of course, robots, as well as designs of their own creation.  All equipment, supplies and materials included.
The very first class ever taught at The ROC over a decade ago was Beginner Robotics, and ever since then students have been learning, teachers have been training, and the program has been growing with the expanding terrain of Lego education, robotics technology and its 21st Century applications.  Teachers of this Beginner Lego Robotics class have over 10 years of experience working with Lego engineering and STEAM programming as well as captaining the ROCbotics, The ROC’s FLL robotics competition team that has won several awards, including the first place Champion’s Award at Dalton High School.
CONGRATULATIONS to The ROC’s Robotics Teams – Winning 1st and 2nd Place overall Champions Awards, and Golden Tickets to Finals!
