This immersive course takes young innovators deep into the mechanics behind robots! Students will explore the simple machines—gears, pulleys, levers, wheels, and axles—that make robots move and function. Using fun, hands-on building kits like LEGO® Education or VEX GO, students will construct mechanical models and apply their learning to build dynamic robots. They’ll discover how these machines work together and how coding adds intelligence to motion.

What Kids Will Learn:

• Core mechanical concepts: simple machines and their functions

• How mechanical systems are used in robotics

• Building structures that move using motors and sensors

• Programming basics to bring robotic systems to life

• Applying design thinking and problem-solving to robotics challenges

Highlights:

• Combines mechanical engineering and beginner coding

• Learn the “why” behind how robots move and work

• Build real working models and simple robotic systems

• Ideal blend of creativity, critical thinking, and STEM

This course is perfect for young builders who love to tinker, explore, and turn machines into intelligent robots!
