Course Content
In a fun, relaxed setting, you will be introduced to the LEGO robotics components and RoboLab programming language. Each session will introduce a "mission." You will design, build, and program a robot to perform to the mssion challenge. The session ends with the opportunity to test the robot's abilities against the clock. We provide lots of mentoring and support!
