Each student will have access to the full array of LEGO’s EV3 kits and every additional expansion set of the LEGO company. There are only 12 spots per session available.

Each student will have to work with their own ROBOT to assemble, program, and demonstrate with the class. Students will have the opportunity to creatively build, explore, and program their robots to achieve a number of challenging problems. These problems will be tackled individually and collaboratively.

A number of different expansion sets will be made available, including simple and powered machines, renewable energy sets, pneumatics and hydraulics, and automation principles. These will be explored by students in this self-paced exploratory environment. Students will also showcase their prototypes at the conclusion of the spring semester.

The dates for the Monday sessions are as follows:

  • Feb. 4, 11, and 25.
  • March 4, 11 and 25.
