This is not your ordinary Lego Robotics class – students will not just put existing robotic Lego together, rather they will get a chance to learn about robotics at a much deeper level by actually making each robotic part from scratch.
Students will keep everything they make!
Students will learn hands-on skills as they drill holes in plastic blocks, glue electronic components into them, and build their very own RoboBloX!
Students will learn problem-solving and coding skills as they bring their new robot to life and teach them how to accomplish their mission.
See what students will be up to this term.
Robotics teaches
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) all together in a synergetic combination. 
It is like taking five classes in one!
Students will bring their robots to life by building and then incorporating
RoboBloX into their design.
Students will learn to program their robot on their own laptop using a visual drag-and-drop programing language based on Scratch by MIT, called mBlock.
No prior experience required.
We offer Junior and Senior classes to suit all abilities.

You always learn more when you do it yourself!
Lego has been involved in robotics for years (Lego Mindstorm) - But not like this!
To learn more, go deeper, and even save money we will be making our own specialized RoboBloX that are compatible with Lego, but at a fraction of the cost!
Students will build, program and keep a number of RoboBloX each term.
The plastic bricks and electronics required to make each RoboBloX are provided so you don't need to drill or glue your own personal Lego.
Check out a list of all the RoboBloX
After creating a RoboBlock students will learn how it works by using it in a robotic project. Students will learn to program their robot to use the new RoboBlock. Projects will be built out of regular Lego. Students are encouraged to bring their own Lego if possible, so they can keep their creations. Lego will be available to borrow during the class (but must be returned at the end of each class).
