Eight weeks. Real code. A robot that performs.
Most of class is hands on, not screens. Kids build, test, break things, and fix them. Then they write the code that makes the robot do what they designed. In week eight, every team shows what they built to family and friends.
- 01
They write the code
Real programs on LEGO Education's Computer Science & AI platform. The code they write is what moves the robot.
- 02
Teams of four
Mixed grades, two adults in the room. Older kids help younger ones, and everyone touches the robot.
- 03
A show in week eight
Every session ends with teams demonstrating their robots live. New theme every session, so kids come back.
