Course Description
Lions and Tigers and Bears... Oh my!
In Amazing Animals Robotics, students create their own robotic animals. Build them; code them; and then make them RRROOOAARR!!! Students have fun and learn about engineering, coding, circuits, and sensors as they build Dinosaurs, Dolphins, Panda Bears, and much more.
Each week, students build a different animal robot, learn about the animal and its behavior in its natural habitat, and then are provided instructions on how to build it using LEGO bricks, gears, and pulleys as they learn Engineering concepts. They add motors, circuits, and sensors for the electronics. And then connect via Bluetooth and code their robot to react to its environment autonomously.
Students have fun and apply the Math skills they are learning in school. Your child is sure to have a wild time as they build, learn, and play!
