Introduction to Ekal LEGO® Robotics Boot Camp

Ekal LEGO® Robotics Boot Camp will be a fun filled boot camp where your student will learn basic bot building and coding using the Lego Mindstorms EV3 software and kit. This boot camp is a hands-on course which will introduce your student to the vast world of LEGO® Robotics through interactive presentations, robot building, and programming.

In this course your student will:

• Learn the basics of robotics using LEGO® Mindstorms® EV3 kit.
• Get to know the different components like motors, sensors and the brick and build simple robots to perform autonomous and remote controlled tasks.

What your students would have gained by the end of the boot camp:

• Basic bot building skills including basic software coding skills. Learn about motor blocks, flow control blocks etc.
• You will take home project files for the programs you create.

 

Open To:
