Fall 2008 Classes

LearningFun101 offers a variety enrichment classes using hands-on exploration as a means to inspire children's interest in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and the creative arts. 

LEGO®  Robotics I

This class is an introduction to building and programming robots using the LEGO® Mindstorms™ Robotics Invention System.

In small teams of 3-5, students will learn:

  • The engineering process of brainstorm, design, build and test
  • How to use gears, pulleys, motors and sensors
  • Math, science and technology
  • Teamwork skills
  • Built at least two different Robots
  • Programming using ROBOLAB Software

Students use a computer to program their robot to move and react in order to solve tasks from previous FIRST LEGO League challenges.  Minimum age: 8

Round Rock Classes

Monday        LEGO Robotics        10am - 11:30am

LEGO®  Robotics II

This class is introduces intermediate topics in building and programming robots using the LEGO® Mindstorms™ Robotics Invention System.
