In-School RoboFun Offerings

LEGO® Mindstorms® RCX - age 6 and up: Over 10 weeks, RoboFun® instructors will guide participants in the creation of three different robotics projects. The first project is a practice vehicle robot in which the students gain initial skills using the LEGO® mini computer, motors, sensors, and different design attachments. Students practice giving robots instructions to complete tasks using an intuitive programming environment called Robolab. For the second project, participants create a stationary project or contraption using gears, pulleys, axles, motors and sensors as well as techniques for building sturdy structures. The third project is the final project; students select the final invention based on his or her experiences in previous projects and own interests/creative ideas. Final projects are presented by students to parents on the last day of class. For examples of projects, visit our project gallery.

Animation & Game Design with Scratch: Animate it! Design it! Program it! Play it! In the *ALL NEW* RoboFun® Animation and Game Design with Scratch workshop, students create their own animations, interactive stories, games, music and art that others can interact with and play. Scratch is a new programming language made specifically for kids; it's free and downloadable for home use. Projects can also be posted to the Scratch website for others around the world to play!
