Simple motorized LEGO builds 

​

Our summer programs aim to introduce children to the world of STEM in an engaging and interactive manner. This week, students will utilize LEGO bricks, axles, gears, motors, and battery packs to construct various cartoon-inspired builds. From creating a slide for Bluey and Bingo to assembling the Paw Patrol cruiser, these LEGO constructions will encourage students to explore and expand their knowledge, with guidance from our experienced counselors.

Game On: LEGO building, coding, and stop motion animation

​

This week, students will be challenged to defeat the nefarious Dr. Destructo. Each day, students will collaborate with a video game hero to construct various motorized LEGO builds utilizing axles, gears, battery packs, pulleys, and motors. From traversing hilltops and collecting gold rings with Sonic to competing in Mario's Grand Prix, students will gain proficiency in coding their motorized LEGO builds through a drag-and-drop-based interface with Bluetooth technology. Additionally, students will engage in other LEGO-based mini-challenges to cultivate and enhance their creativity.

 

In the afternoon, students will have the opportunity to produce their own LEGO stop-motion animations. Students will formulate a plot, construct a set, and capture images. They will also learn to edit their films, integrate music, and append titles/credits using professional stop-motion software.

​

Children may register for both weeks or individual weeks. Each week has different LEGO builds and lessons, so children can attend whichever weeks they are interested in.
