The goal of robotics club is to build on skills in engineering, computer science, and coding with the use of Lego Spike, Elegoo or Sphero robots. Students gain teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills as well as learn how to build algorithms, design robot tasks, and debug code. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in First Lego League (in preparation for middle school competition team) or the MAIS STEM Robotics programs.
STEM Learning: Robotics clubs provide hands-on experience with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts in a practical and engaging way. Children learn about mechanics, electronics, programming, and problem-solving through building and programming robots.
Problem-Solving: Participants are challenged to design, build, and program robots to complete specific tasks or challenges. This encourages critical thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to solve complex problems creatively.
Collaboration: Robotics clubs often involve teamwork, where children work together in small groups to achieve common goals. This fosters collaboration, communication, and interpersonal skills as they learn to share ideas, delegate tasks, and work effectively as a team.
Innovation: Building and programming robots allow children to express their creativity and imagination. They can provide unique solutions to challenges, experiment with different components and programming techniques, and innovate to overcome obstacles.
Persistence: Robotics projects can be challenging and require many iterations to achieve success. Children learn the value of perseverance, resilience, and the ability to learn from failure as they work on their designs, debug code, and overcome setbacks.
Real-World Application: Robotics clubs provide opportunities for children to see the real-world applications of STEM concepts. They learn how robotics technology is used in various industries, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and space exploration, inspiring them to pursue careers in STEM fields.
