Having the ability to work in teams, solve problems, and create solutions. Understanding key science, technology, engineering, and math concepts. The sets, software, and curriculum designed by LEGO Education harness the power of the brick and combine to create fun learning opportunities for students that will help develop the skills needed for a lifetime of creating, solving, and contributing to a global society.
LEGO® Beginning Engineering Camps – Grades K-2
Using LEGO elements in an educational setting, children work in pairs to design, build and test basic LEGO models each day. This series of engaging, hands-on activities will develop students’ understanding of science, engineering and mathematics concepts – all while fine-tuning their teamwork, motor and problem-solving skills. Concepts such as gears, wheels and axles, pulleys, and levers will be introduced.

LEGO® Mindstorms Robotics I Camp with ROBOT “C” Software – grades 6-12
Campers work in teams of two to build robots and real-life robotic mechanisms to tackle challenges and compete in complex, intriguing missions. Students learn STEM skills as they work in gear ratio, brainstorm solutions, and use creativity and logic to complete complex control system builds that are powered by C programming. ROBOTC is designed to enhance a new programmer’s learning experience while still meeting the needs of an advanced programmer. ROBOTC is based on the industry-standard C language
