| What's new if my child took LEGO Spybots last year?
We have 5 new building projects in the camp, plus the afternoon focus on
electronics which teaches about electricity and how everyday items work through
hands-on projects.
What's different between this and the other LEGO camps?
Students in this camp create advanced LEGO projects which can be controlled with
a remote to perform a variety of moves. In the afternoon, students learn about
electronics as they build simple versions of everyday items to better understand
how they work. By comparison, the LEGO Motor Madness camp involves simpler LEGO
projects, along with an introduction to robotics. The Master Builder class
involves similar level builds, but has a game design focus in the afternoon.
What if my child has used a Snap Circuits kit before?
Our class involves a thorough introduction to electronics, using both Snap Circuits and actual electronic components. We build on the popular Snap Circuits projects with original designs and discussions to generate a deeper understanding of how each component and the entire circuit works. Students use specialty parts from the middle school Snap Circuits kits such as a relay, 7-segment LED display, voice recorder, meter, and remote control vehicle chassis to extend learning. Plus, students are introduced to a breadboard and actual electronic components on the final day to create a LEGO creature with flashing LED eyes. This prepares students for further electronic exploration and projects which they can make at home.
