Lego Engineering: Programming the NXT Class, Gr 3-6

Do you like to build? Drive remote control vehicles? Program robots? Then we have a challenge for you. Mechatronics is the combination of Mechanical and Electronic components. In this workshop, students will use LEGO Mindstorms NXT components to build and program models of machines and devices that operate automatically or by remote control. Depending on the age group, projects may include a drawbridge, robotic arm, pinball machine, crane, car, or others. Working with expert instructors and detailed building plans, students will complete a project in each class and capture it digitally for a final take-home photo album that details all of their projects. Note: LEGO projects will not be taken home.
