Build Your Own Robotic Super Heroine or Hero

Description

Do you enjoy building with LEGO? Ever dreamed of building and programming a robot? If you answered yes to these questions, this class is for you! Students will gain real-world problem-solving experience through this guided, hands-on course inspired by the global robotics organization FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).

Friendly competition is at the heart of this challenge, as teams of students engage in problem-solving, coding, and engineering challenges. Students will build and program a fully autonomous LEGO robot that navigates missions on a themed FIRST LEGO League Challenge game board. This year’s theme is SUBMERGED. The game missions are themed around ocean exploration. No prior building or coding experience is necessary.

Objectives

• Learn how to build programmable robots using Lego SPIKE Prime Robot kits.

• Learn to work effectively in teams to produce functional autonomous robots to solve various challenges and missions on a robotics game board.
