RoboExplorers: Robotics + Coding Fundamentals

Robots are becoming more and more part of everyday life. We need to learn not only how to work with these machines, but also how to design, create, and program them. Embark on an exhilarating exploration of technology, engineering, and creativity with our "RoboExplorers" module for young minds aged 10 to 14. This hands-on program introduces students to the fundamentals of coding and robotics, laying the groundwork for future innovation. Robo Explorers will utilize LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime kits to delve into programming, robot assembly, and project-based learning. This course is the prerequisite for an advanced coding and robotics course in development for the fall of 2024.
