Cool Projects with Lego Mindstorms (SPIKE or EV3)
For students in grades 4, 5 and 6
This program is designed for students who enjoy building with Lego technic elements, motors, and sensors. Each student will have a Lego Mindstorms kit
with over 500 pieces and create projects such as a basketball shooting hoops robot, a lifting gripper, a humanoid robot, or other projects of their choice. They will connect their creation to the
block programming App to make them move and react to the environment using sensors. This program will promote a challenging environment where students will develop building skills and basics of
computer programming.
Each student will have a robot and a computer for coding (no equipment sharing). Students will not repeat activities and previous students will be able to build different projects.

WHEN: Tuesdays from 4:10 to 5:10 pm
Lego Robotics I and II
For students in grades 4, 5 and 6
This program is designed to engage students in science, engineering, robotics, and coding. Each student will program an autonomous robot and solve different challenges every day. They will experiment with building and programming arms to collect, transport, lift, and deposit items to different locations. Students will also learn how to use sensors to detect color, line following and navigate a maze by avoiding obstacles. This program will promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills while learning basics and advanced coding skills.
Students will have their own robot and a computer for coding (no equipment sharing)
WHEN: Thursdays from 5:20 to 6:20 and Fridays 4:10 to 5:10 for new students.
Fridays from 5:20 to 6:20 (level II - for students who attended Lego Robotics level I)
STEM with SPIKE Essential
For students in grade 1 and 2
This program is designed for elementary school students to engage them in hands-on experiments with the SPIKE Prime Essential Lego Set. They will learn concepts of STEM while using motors, sensors, and lego elements to create themed projects, such as rides in an amusement park, arcade games, cable cars, helicopters, and more. Students will use the Lego Spike Essential App to experiment with block-based coding similar to Scratch and develop coding skills. This program will promote a challenging environment where students develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and computer programming skills.
Each student will have a robot and a computer for coding (no equipment sharing). Students will not repeat activities, and previous students will be able to build different projects.
WHEN: Thursday from 4:10 to 5:10
Game Design
For students in grades 4 and 5
In this camp, students will create fully functional games in just a few hours. Using an intuitive icon-based environment, they make their world with characters and use the built-in functions to add movements and animation. For example, students can choose how objects react when they collide with each other or when the player presses a key on the keyboard; they can change the direction of a character when it reaches a boundary, they can program when to score or lose a life, play sounds, or use physics properties. By following simple steps to create games, even beginner students can quickly master the basics and use their knowledge and creativity to develop sophisticated gaming environments.
Each student will have a robot and a computer for coding (no equipment sharing).
WHEN: Mondays from 5:20 to 6:20
Scratch Programming
For students grades 3-4
Students in this camp will create interactive stories, games, and animations using Scratch, a visual programming language developed by MIT. Students will learn to think creatively and reason systematically and learn computer programming concepts such as loops, conditional and logic operations, variables, and functions. This program will promote a challenging environment where students develop problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and computer programming skills.
Each student will have a computer for coding (no equipment sharing). This program is recommended for new students.
WHEN: Tuesdays from 5:20 to 6:20
VEX GO
For students in grades 2 and 3
In this camp, students will build and code several projects that teach STEM fundamentals through collaborative, hands-on activities. For example, they will create a robot arm with an Eye Sensor and Electromagnet and program them to pick up Disks from side to side.
Lessons are designed to provoke STEM thinking and spark creative problem-solving ideas. Each student will have a robot and a computer for coding (no equipment sharing).
WHEN: Mondays from 4:10 to 5:10
Exploring Programming w Python
For students in grades 6, 7 and 8
This course walks students from drawing basic shapes to creating animations. The course is entirely browser-based. Students can write their code, watch their drawings and animations appear on screen. Students can also practice on their own. Students will gain skills in Troubleshootong, Problem Solving, Critical Thinking and Creativity.
WHEN: Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30
