Build and program robots that can do amazing things!
Cancelled
This is an intermediate course in robotics and requires completion of at least one of our Introduction to Lego Robotics classes. We will be utilizing Lego Mindstorms NXT kits, Lego Mindstorms software and various Lego Robotics materials. Students will be involved in the development, building and programming of a LEGO Mindstorm robot. Students will work hands-on in teams to design, build, and program robotic projects.
Students will learn –
- How to collaborate in groups and teams
- How to design robots for specific activities and scenarios
- How to use robotics programming software
- To design, develop and complete robotic activities and challenges
Activities are designed to progress from the introductory class to build more complex robots, building techniques, as well as problem solving strategies. We will explore topics such as motor control, gear ratios, torque, friction, sensors, timing, program loops, logic gates, decision-making, timing sequences, propulsion systems and binary number systems.
The concept of robotics competitions for students will also be introduced. A First Lego League competition field will be provided so that students can see how the robot-building section of these challenges work. If your child may be interested in joining a team, but is not quite sure if s/he would like it, this is a great opportunity to try it out.
Suitable for students in Grades 3-5
Your student must have completed the introductory class or have had prior robotic experience. Please contact the instructor for more details.

Since then she has acquired over 20 years of teaching experience, including several years in the Head Start Program. The majority of her experience however has been providing after school art enrichment classes at Seattle Public Schools.
She has also been retained as an Artist in Residence,
Elaine’s interest in folk art led to authoring a book on metal repujado, and several television appearances. She is responsible for developing and popularizing metal embossing techniques and products in the crafting industry.
Elaine has also received certification as a social worker, specializing in child care. Most recently she completed training as a sign language interpreter.
“Traditionally, folk art was created by people who did not even have a word for art in their culture. Art was simply what people did. It was a part of being human. My classes foster this philosophy in a contemporary setting. Folk art often has a practical purpose or meets a specific need. Many of my classes utilize found objects and recycling, reflecting our society’s need to conserve and repurpose”
