| What do participants do? |
All programs involve hands-on experiments with exploring, designing, building from scratch, and programming for full automation. All programming is written on a PC and "transferred" to the MINDSTORMS robot. We the easy-to-use LEGO Mindstorms robotics component, but use a highly scalable programming software to accommodate various skill levels. For the novice: Though the idea of programming robots may sound intimidating to some children, the LEGO MINDSTORMS system provides an easy and fun experience. The workshops offer a friendly teamwork-learning environment, and most children find it very intuitive within a short period of time. For the more advanced: We provide more complex, mind-challenging robotics activities which may require complex programming logic even for college level. Our program includes advanced level which guarantees a bundle of technical challenges and fun for the more advanced kids. Challenges are virtually endless. Participants get a glimpse of what artificial intelligence involves. All activities aim to instill PRIDE in kids as they watch their robots put into actions by their own programs. Kids absolutely LOVE the challenge of building these robots from scratch. A friendly mini-contest can be incorporated at the end of each program. |
