2024 Summer Program

Whether it's for a simple moving sculpture or a maze-solving robot, adding a computer can make any Lego project cooler.

Play with Lego Mindstorms, a system of parts that allow you to computerize Lego. Add motors to move your creation around, and sensors to let it detect the world around it. Then, learn the basics of programming and make your robot accomplish tasks difficult for a purely mechanical machine to do. Work with others to tackle engineering challenges, and build robots that you design.

Please note: This workshop requires dexterity, persistence, and patience.
