The program offers a unique blend of hands-on LEGO® robotics and coding within the intellectually stimulating environment of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools.
Students in the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools Summer Lab LEGO® Robotics program engage in hands-on activities to develop foundational skills in robotics, coding, and engineering design. Using LEGO® Spike kits, campers learn to design, construct, and program their own robots. The curriculum focuses on mastering the fundamentals of LEGO® Spike robotics and block-based coding, allowing students to build increasingly complex robots and mechanisms. Through collaborative projects, participants tackle real-world engineering challenges, fostering computational thinking and problem-solving abilities. The program culminates in a showcase where students demonstrate their inventions and articulate their design process to families and friends, emphasizing creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking in a fun and supportive environment.
A typical day involves hands-on building and coding challenges using LEGO® Spike kits, where students design and program robots to solve various engineering problems.
This camp is ideal for elementary students in grades 1-2 who are curious about how things work and enjoy hands-on building and creative problem-solving.
