Enhance students' curiosity, science and engineering skills with a wonderful introduction to ROBOTICS with LEGO Bricks, Tilt and Motion Sensors, Motors and gears,

A master class for learning techniques, procedures, coding, strategy leading in to competing in a Steam Works sponsored First Lego League (FLL) competition team. This class will prepare you for competition using the Mindstorms EV3 kit and challenges laid out on a Competition team table. Teaches problem solving, working in a team, trouble shooting skills, perseverance, mechanical engineering, design, strategy, documentation, presentation and programming while making robust Robots that can win tournaments. The sessions are 2 hour long and are calculated with 4 sessions x 2 hours = 8 hours of programming = $265. The cost includes any extra classes required during the final weeks and the cost of parts and registration for the Competition.

After mastering our Rookie EV3 Mindstorms program you are now ready to put your introductory skills to the test. The novice level will continue to build on your skills while introducing more complex creations and problem solving abilities. Mindstorms EV3 teaches engineering, design and programming while making fun Robots.
