Couse Description:
This course is designed for 3rd - 6th graders. We will use LEGO® SPIKE Prime kits for building and a scratch-based app for programming. The kids will learn to build, code, and move the robot, pick up/move objects, and create basic attachments for their robot. We will also go over some sensors in the kit, how to use them, a basic version of how the sensors work, and some real-life examples and uses of these sensors.
At the end of class, kids will be ready to join a team to compete in an FLL robotics competition.
Classes Time:
4/29 - 6/10, every Tuesday,
