Robot Building Sessions

Join us for fun and educational robot building sessions using Lego Spike Essentials sets. Designed for grades 1-3, each session is a standalone experience where students will learn basic robotics concepts and programming. We’ll build a new creation each time!  Parents are welcome to stay or drop-off if your child is comfortable.

Parents, Legos have to stay at LabSpace at the end of each class, but before we take them apart, you can take lots of pictures and videos!  If you leave, please plan to be back for the last 10 minutes of class so you get to see each creation.

Sold Out Cancelled – In-Person – Junior Coding for Good

Join us for the Junior Coding for Good Workshops.   These workshops should be taken in order since programming concepts will build on each other.
We’ll be exploring programming concepts like loops and in-then statements as we learn to program in Scratch- a programming language developed at MIT that makes it easy to tell stories and express your self. You’ll need a gmail account to sign-in to Scratch so you can save your work. You can read more about Scratch here: https://scratch.mit.edu/. Remember to write down your Scout’s username and password and bring it to class.
Tuition: $30 per Scout  and includes all three sessions.  Scouts will complete the requirements for all three Junior Coding for Good Badges. (Tuition does not include the cost of the badge. You may purchase these from your Girl Scout store)
Troop Leaders, We’re happy to schedule a workshop for your troop.  The cost is the same, but we do ask for a minimum of 5 Scouts.  Just email [email protected] to schedule.

STEM Club: Robotics Adventure (Grades 3-6)

Wednesdays 11:30-12:20  or 5:05-5:55 Jan 15-April 9 (no class March12)

Get ready to explore the exciting world of robots and be a part of something BIG!

What to Expect:

  • Scratch Programming: We’ll begin with Scratch, a visual programming language that makes coding fun and easy to learn. Students will use colorful blocks to create animations, games, and interactive stories, building a strong foundation in programming concepts.
  • Lego Mindstorms: Next, we’ll gear up for the main event by building and programming real robots using Lego Mindstorms! Students will learn how to control motors, use sensors, and bring their robotic creations to life.
  • Two Coding Languages: This club will introduce students to two distinct programming environments. While both use visual elements, the Mindstorms software is specifically designed to control robot hardware and will present unique coding challenges.
  • Robot Parade Extravaganza! Our robotics adventure culminates in the highly anticipated annual Robot Parade! This exciting event is open to the entire community and features a parade of robots  each pulling a unique and imaginative float designed and built by the students themselves! Plan to save Sat, April 12th for the parade.  Check in will be between 10:00-11:00 and the parade will start at 1:00.
