3rd-8th Lego Robotics 9am-12 Noon
Creativity + Teamwork + Imagination = Fun! Using programmable bricks and ROBOLAB software will help us make our LEGO creations move, measure, control and react. Moving beyond modeling cars and wheeled vehicles, we may build a windmill farm that really generates electricity, an automatic birdfeeder, a carousel, insect creatures, solar panels that follow the sun, or any number of surprising fun things. LEGO materials courtesy of our friends at Tufts University CEEO (Center for Engineering Education Outreach).
