Theme: Around the World in 7 Weeks…with Robots

During this Tuesday after-school bootcamp of 7 weekly workshops held at the Amsterdam Public Library near Centraal Station, kids ages 8-12 will take a virtual trip around the world and design robots for different cities, cultures and landmarks. Using LEGO robotics kits, kids ages 8-12 will design, build and code a series of robots for the Great Wall of China, the Sahara, the Indian Diwali festival and more.

Kids will dive into designing, building and coding using LEGO Mindstorms and art supplies. They’ll learn about design concepts (resources, requirements, testing, iteration, best practices) and computer science concepts (coding, algorithms, commands, loops, sequence, iteration, if-else logic, etc.).

Kids will develop creativity and innovation skills by designing, building and coding a series of robots and tech prototypes based on their own ideas. Kids will dive into building and visual programming using LEGO Mindstorms and art supplies. They’ll learn about design concepts (resources, requirements, testing, iteration, best practices) and computer science concepts (coding, algorithms, commands, loops, sequence, iteration, if-else logic, etc.).

During each class, they’ll watch short films and discuss technology before completing challenges in pairs and presenting their prototypes.
