WizKidz Science and Technology Centers

Please be patient as we update our 2011-2012 Fall after school schedule

Grades 3-5 After School Classes

Class Descriptions

Robotics and Computing

Beginner Robotics and Computing

LEGO NXT 2.0 Robotic Building System
Class Code: BRC1

Grades 3-5

This course will introduce students in grades 3-5 to robotic platforms and programming languages that involve real world applications used to solve real world problems. Students learn mechanical design, construction, programming and teamwork skills. In small teams, using motors and sensors, students will explore gears and pulleys, build and control moon rovers, and finally build a robot that can find its own way and avoid obstacles on a moon terrain and rock simulation. Activities become more enhanced and challenge the students to solve real life engineering scenarios using robotics. Students will also use computing programs to teach their robot to move and react in order to solve challenges.
