2009 - 2010 Classes

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

Beginning LEGO®  Robotics

In this class children will be introduced to simple machines while having fun learning about mechanical building concepts. Using special Lego kits, and easy-to-follow instructions, children will get hands-on experience working with gears, pulleys, and electrical motors. Some of the projects may include: an amusement park ride, crane and more.

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

  • The engineering process of brainstorm, design, build and test
  • How to use gears, pulleys and motors
  • Math, science and technology
  • Teamwork skills
  • Programming using LEGO Mindstorm 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: 5
