In each Robotics class, students build a robot, letting their creativity and imaginations loose. Along the way, they learn science and engineering concepts, such as how pulleys, levers and motors work. They’ll discover how to apply computer programming concepts and find new ways to get their robot moving. At the end of each robotics class, students participate in a wrap-up activity to reinforce the skills they learned in class.
