Mission to Mars: LEGO robotics challenge, stop motion animation, and Minecraft (week one)
Description
Prepare yourself as we blast off to explore Mars! This week students will unleash their inner engineer by working hands-on with LEGO MINDSTORMS to build and program EV3 robots. Using axles, gears, motors and sensors students will need to use creative problem-solving skills, communication, and teamwork to complete various missions around the Mars challenge mat. Our experienced staff will be there each step of the way from building add-on LEGO mechanisms for collecting rock samples to using the color sensor to detect when the robot reaches the lunar base.

In the afternoon students will have the opportunity to produce their own LEGO stop motion animations! Students will devise a plot, build a set, and capture images. In addition, they will learn to edit their films, attach music, and add titles/credits using professional stop motion software.

In addition, students will learn all about Redstone and circuits in Minecraft. Each day students will be tasked to brainstorm, build, and test different machines for various purposes.

Children may register for both weeks or individual weeks. Each week has different LEGO builds and lessons.
