SKC196 - LEGO Robotics 101 (Rising 4-5 Grades)
Hosted in partnership with the William States Lee College of Engineering, dive headfirst into the captivating realm of robots where you'll unravel their secrets, from car-building wizards to floor-vacuuming maestros.
Course Overview
Intro to Robotics for Young Innovators
LEGO Robotics 101 is a hands-on STEM camp designed for students in grades 4–5 who are curious about how robots move, think, and work. From self-driving cars to smart home devices, robots are shaping the future—and this camp is your child’s chance to explore the science and engineering behind them.
Through guided activities, creative challenges, and plenty of build time, campers discover how real engineers use design, coding, and problem-solving to bring robots to life.
Discover the World of Robots
Campers begin by exploring what robots are and how they are used in everyday life. From cars that park themselves to robots that help clean floors, kids learn that robotics is all around them.
Robots in the Real World
- See how robots help in transportation, manufacturing, homes, and healthcare.
- Understand the basic parts of a robot: sensors, motors, and controllers.
- Learn how robots follow instructions and respond to their environment.
These foundations help campers connect what they build in camp to the technology they see every day.
Build & Program Robots with LEGO Education SPIKE™
Using the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ kit, campers design, build, and program their own robots to complete fun missions and challenges.
Hands-On Robotics Projects
- Design and build robots using LEGO® bricks, motors, and sensors.
- Use a kid-friendly coding interface to program robot movements and actions.
