Lego Robotics Education
Teaching computational thinking through hands on activities.
Mentoring local students and youth groups in computational thinking, programming, and problem solving through various hands-on activities.
What we do
Teaching universal skills
We believe that computational thinking skills apply to every field. We teach applicable skills and principles such as
- problem solving
- communiciation
- organization and processing
Inspiring youth
We encourage students to explore how computational thinking applies to their own life, and inspire them to continue learning outside the classroom.
Education
We are passionate about educating the next generation on the principles and practices of computer science, no matter what their passion is.
Robotics Programming
We teach kids how to program Lego robots. We walk them through the entire process, from building the robot to actually coding unique and engaging programs.
The curriculum is approximately a semester long and covers topics such as
- building a robot
- controling the robot programmatically
- if-else statements
- loops
- input sensors
Coding & Scratch
We teach kids to code with Scratch, a visual coding language for kids. Scratch is easy to learn and understand, but teaches you the fundamentals which are applicable to other programming languages.
Creative Coding
We have another initiative called Creative Coding which also teaches kids how to program, but with an emphasis on art and storytelling. Contact us for more information.
Inclusion
Interdisciplinary Involvment
Nearly every field in the modern world uses computer science in some way, and our curriculum interweaves many disciplines.
Including everybody in computer science
It has been found that nearly all students are interested in STEM fields at a young age, but that some groups see a steep decline in interest around middle school. We aim to get students involved in STEM early on to curb this decline. We believe that everyone, regardless of group or background, should be in STEM.
