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: Mondays from 5:20 to 6:20 pm (Lego SPIKE)
Tuesdays from 5:20 to 6:20 pm (Lego EV3)
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: Tuesdays from 4:10 to 5:10 and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 for LEVEL 2
Wednesday from 5:20 to 6:20 for LEVEL 1 (new students)
VEX IQ Robotics
For students in grades 5, 6, 7
This program will engage students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). They will build a robot using the VEX IQ elements, including the touch, distance, color, gyro, and touch LED
sensors. Students will learn to program using the VEX code IQ programming blocks to solve the VEX IQ Challenge Rise Above Game. The Challenge is played on a 6’ x 8’ rectangular field where robots
take the field to score as many points as possible. Each student will have a VEX IQ super kit with over 800 pieces and a computer to create codes, including the use of conditional statements, Boolean
operations, loops, functions, and how to use sensor feedback to control the robot’s motion.
Each student will have a robot and a computer for coding (no equipment sharing).
WHEN: Wednesdays from 4:10 to 5:10 pm
STEM with SPIKE Essential
Level 1 - grade 1 Level 2 - grades 2-3
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: Mondays from 4:10 to 5:10 for grades 2-3
Thursday from 4:10 to 5:10 for grade 1
Python with SPIKE Prime
For students in grades 6 and 7
This program is recommended for middle school students interested in learning basic programming in Python applied to robotics. Students will use the SPIKE Prime Robots and solve weekly challenges using Python programming concepts such as data types, variables, operators, conditional statements, and functions. They will program using motors to make the robot more and sensors to navigate accurately. Python is gaining popularity in several application fields, such as machine learning, web development, automation, and other computer science areas.
Each student will have a robot and a computer for coding (no equipment sharing).
Scratch Programming Level 1
For students grades 2-3
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: Thursdays from 5:20 to 6:20 for grades 2-3
