Fall 2022- Robotics  - In this exciting robotics class students learn mechanical design, construction, programming, and teamwork skills. In pairs, using LEGO building elements, motors, and sensors, students build different robot prototypes and program them with a computer to move, react, and make sounds. Students will utilize their prototypes and programming to solve design challenges using the LEGO WeDo 2.0, EV3 or the Lego Spike Prime Robotic Systems. Students will participate in the 2022 Robotics FIRST Lego League Challenge: ENERGIZE.
