At the same time\, learning these skills can be a fun and rewarding experience for kids. This program aims to: spark interest in STEM in our community\, while creating a space for children who may not be able to learn robotics on their own\, and to learn to work as a team to pursue a common goal!Participants will:1st Session: Robot building\, overview of code blocks\, basic movement (turns\, speed adjustment) includes challenges like making a robot\, and a square shape with movement2nd Session: Sensors (sensors explained\, types of sensors\, uses of the sensors\, and then tasks in which sensors need to be used)3rd Session: Attachments (purpose of attachments\, different types of attachments\, attachment mechanics\, coding attachments)4th Session: Introduce and start working on the previous First Lego League challenges for the competition. Finish working on challenges and hold a competition between the 2 teams!Questions about this program? Contact the branch (240) 777-0678.Find out how to Get a Library Card to take full advantage of MCPL’s many resources!Library Program Attendance (both virtual and in the branch) is limited to participants within the suggested age range of the program.
