Level 1: This session assumes no previous experience.  We’ll work through challenges of increasing difficulty to build skills.  After getting your robot built and moving, you’ll start learning how to add sensors to make your robot better able to function in its environment.  

Level 2: This session of Middle School Robotics is for those who’ve worked with Lego Mindstorms robots in the past.  The class will focus on independent building skills rather than building from instructions.  We’ll have mini-programming challenges that will focus on more advanced programming techniques.

Depending on time and interest, we may do a “homemade” robotics project as well. Register Here

LabSpace wouldn’t be the same without it’s mentors!  If you’d like the opportunity to mentor at LabSpace, this is the class for you!  You’ll be able to share the skills you’ve learned with kids who are just getting started.

 

In this Mentor Training, we’ll be focusing on the Lego Spike Essentials robotics sets, since these are new to LabSpace.  We’ll practice building with the sets and addressing common computer issues that arise.  In addition to technical skills, we’ll spend time on how to work with children: Good word choices, basic classroom issues, and safety issues.  

 

If you have an interest, go ahead and register.  There is no charge for the class, but there is a limited class size and a teacher must approve your registration.  The Mentorship class is important for being able to volunteer during the summer so you know you have the skills necessary, but completing it does not guarantee you a summer volunteer position.
