Learn the basics of coding and robot building using LEGO robotic kits in this three week program. This program is designed for 5th - 7th grade students who are new to coding and robotics.

Week 1: Students will build an Inventor robot, get introduced to coding basics, and program their robot to complete a basic maze
Week 2: Students will build on their coding knowledge by learning how to integrate sensors, be introduced to challenges using a FIRST Lego League board, and begin brainstorming robot builds and codes to accomplish challenges
Week 3: Exploration and design time culminating in a final mini competition!

Scholarships are available for any student that needs one - please contact stem@msoe.edu to receive more information.
