ROBOTICS WHIZARDS #ROBWEEK
(Ages 8-13)
Staff of Children's Technology Workshop
Participants use LEGO Mindstorms materials to construct a variety of robotic devices and control systems to model machines used in manufacturing and production. Design drawings, carefully prepared by engineers, ensure that the models are functional and leave room for creativity. Projects will be motorized, and programmed on a computer using one of several LEGO programming languages. During construction, instructors will introduce design challenges, discuss real-life robots, and teach participants about proper design and application of structural elements. This class is a great preparation for robotic competitions such as FIRST LEGO League, or simply fun with robotics. The class will conclude with a group showcase of projects. Note: LEGO models will not be taken home. More information at http:// www.ctworkshop.com or 617-395-7527. Limit 15.
