Using LEGO® parts and LEGO® WeDo graphic programming to build robots, Robot Bricks enrichment program participants learn software engineering, technology, entrepreneurship and math (STEM).
During each lesson, students will assemble a robot that will preform a predetermined task. Constructing these robots will develop each student’s ability to create computer algorithms and capability to implement those computed codes. Each student will design a software and mechanical engineering project.
