Course Detail: Robotics and Me

Robotics and MeSpend a day discovering the exciting world of robotics together! Robotics and Me is a full-day, hands-on program designed for adults and children ages 6-10 to learn side-by-side as they explore the basics of building and coding robots using LEGOŽ SPIKE? kits. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, guardian, or family friend, this program offers a fun and supportive environment where you and your child can work as a team to design, build, and program simple robots.Throughout the day, participants will learn the fundamentals of robotics, including how robots move, sense their environment, and follow coded instructions. With guidance from instructors, adult-child teams will construct their own LEGOŽ models and use beginner-friendly coding to bring their creations to life. Activities will encourage problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration as teams experiment, troubleshoot, and celebrate their successes together.Robotics and Me is especially perfect for grandparents or caregivers spending time with kids over the summer and looking for a meaningful activity they can share. No prior robotics or coding experience is required-just curiosity and a willingness to learn together!The program will run for approximately eight hours on Saturday and will include a break for lunch. Families are welcome to bring more than one child-if you register a second child with the same adult, the additional child will receive a discounted registration rate. By the end of the day, families will leave with a stronger understanding of robotics concepts, new skills in basic programming, and the shared experience of creating something amazing together.Come build, code, and discover-because robotics is even more fun when you learn together!
