Students will follow design instructions and build a bot to compete with their teammates. Students will participate in challenging competition with their teammates to test their robot’s structural integrity and maneuverability. Students will be introduced in the first 3 weeks basic engineering concepts and create simple then more complex builds in the remaining weeks. LEGO Technic pieces that come together to create movable, steerable, controlled robots. Students will engage in a group four with assigned roles that rotate weekly. • Instructor – He or she reads the out the parts needed for the builds. • Engineer - He or she will look for the parts that the instructor reads out loud. • Builder – He or she is responsible for building the robot. • Cross Checker - He or she helps the builder and gets to drive the robot. Your student will learn about gears, pulleys, and varying degrees of traction, and will build a robot. Students will be provided with a creative tool kit to design their bots! **Returning students are welcome! We teach different lessons and builds each semester.
