Sold Out Lego Robotics: Grades K-2

Lego Robotics: Build and Code Explorers

Grades K-2

In this class, we use LEGO Spike Essential kits to help younger kids get comfortable with basic engineering and coding. Each week, we’ll build a different model together—like a carnival ride or a motorized animal—and then use our computers to write simple code that makes it move or make sounds.

We keep our classes small (this class is capped at 6 students) so everyone gets the help they need. We provide all the LEGO kits and computers. Please help your child understand that since these are shared kits, we will be taking our creations apart at the end of each class so they’re ready for the next project. It usually helps to take pictures or videos of the project so they can show it off to family members.

Parents are welcome to stay and watch or drop off, whichever makes your child more comfortable. If you have younger siblings with you, we have a small area with toys they are welcome to use while they wait.

Upcoming Craft Days at LabSpace 2025/2026

Join us for kid friendly crafts!

We’ll have everything ready to go, so you can just come and create with your children.  Each morning we’ll have a couple of crafts ready for you to come in and make your own.  We’ll gear projects for ages 4-9, but older and younger siblings are welcome. 

Our craft morning series is a wonderful opportunity for kids to explore their creativity in a fun and supportive environment. Please note that this is not a teacher-led activity. While we’ll provide samples, craft supplies, and a mentor to answer questions, parents will be responsible for guiding their children through the projects.

We can’t wait to see what amazing creations you and your children come up with!

Please register by Wednesday 5:00 before craft day.  If we don’t have enough registrations by then, we will cancel for that week.

Each month, we’ll explore new and exciting themes through hands-on activities, from building and coding to painting and designing. While your child is busy with engaging projects, you’ll have a two-and-a-half-hour window to catch up on curriculum planning, run errands, or simply enjoy some quiet time.

Our camp is a fun opportunity for kids to connect, collaborate, and discover a love for STEAM in a supportive environment. We’d love for your child to join the adventure!

 

Wednesday 12:30-3:00 Feb 4, March 4, and April 1  Tuition: $25, Sibling $15   Per session

We have a minimum of 4 families..  If a camp doesn’t meet minimum registration 2 weeks before the event, it will be cancelled.  We will cap registration at 12 children.

Please note, that we will cancel for bad weather and will either reschedule or refund your tuition.  Also, we have teachers with chronic health issues. When they get sick, it is a real set-back.   Please do not come if you or a family member is ill.  We’ll do our best to reschedule you for another event or refund your tuition.

Upcoming Build a Giant Switch

  •  05/05/2026
     5:00 pm CDT - 5:50 pm CDT
  •  06/11/2026
     1:30 pm CDT - 2:20 pm CDT

Building a Giant Switch: A LabSpace Hands-On Workshop

Have you ever wondered what actually happens “under the hood” when you flip a light switch? Come join us at the build table for a project that is both “old school” and high-tech!

We’re going big with a classic engineering project: The Giant Lever Switch. Using cardboard, copper tape, and brass, every student will construct a functional mechanical switch that “thunks” into place to light up an LED. It’s a great way to see exactly how electricity travels through a circuit—and it’s just plain fun to play with.

Age Groups & Family Building

At LabSpace, we love it when families learn together. Because copper tape and cardboard assembly can be a bit “fiddly,” we’ve designed this class with two ways to build:

  • Junior Engineers (Ages 7-8): This is a Partner Build. We require a hands-on adult helper to stay and work as a team with the student.

  • Lead Engineers (Ages 9-14): Older students are welcome to build independently, though parents are always encouraged to grab a chair and join in.

Class Details

  • Cost: $12

  • Ages: 7 to 14

  • Date: May 5, 5:00-5:50 or June 11, 1:30-2:20

  • Take-Home: Every student takes home their completed Giant Switch circuit.

May Homeschool Camps

Maker Camp (Age 9-12)
This three-day camp offers a mix of robotics, engineering, and digital design. The schedule is designed to keep students engaged by rotating between different types of activities throughout the day.

 Lego Mindstorms: The morning session focuses on robotics and sensor-based programming. Students will work through challenges to build and code autonomous robots.

Engineering Projects: We will work on physical builds, including a large cardboard knife switch project. This hands-on work helps students understand circuitry and mechanical assembly.

Digital Design: Afternoon sessions include 3D modeling in TinkerCAD. On the final day, we will introduce OctoStudio, an app used to create interactive coding projects using mobile sensors.

Lunch: There is a daily 40-minute break for lunch (12:00 PM – 12:40 PM). Students should bring a sack lunch.

May 11–13 10:00-2:00
Ages 9-12
Tuition: $90

 

Junior LEGO Robotics Camp (Grades 1-3)
This one-hour session is dedicated to building and programming with LEGO Spike Essentials. Students will use motors and sensors to bring their creations to life while exploring basic engineering concepts like levers and linkages. It’s a hands-on introductory experience designed to help younger students learn how to combine physical building with simple coding.
