Robotics

Once you learn the concepts of programming and computational logic, there is nothing holding you back!

In this workshop, students will be exposed to one of the various applications of coding through robotics.

Students will have the opportunity to assemble a LEGO Mindstorm Robot, and learn how to program it according to the activity of the day.

Various computer science concepts will come into play as students work together to program these robots. These activities will strongly focus on problem-solving skills, as well as challenge our students’ creativity. 

Target age range: 8 - 16 years old

Prerequisites: Beginner Scratch or equivalent experience
