Technology, Robotics using LEGO® Mindstorm® EV3®, Computer Game Design, Coding and Programming with Java Summer Camps


Time Travelers Ages 5-7


Fantastic Builds with LEGO® Motors

Morning camp (9am-12pm)

Take a journey through time - past and future - as you construct fantastic motorized projects using LEGO® elements. Campers visit different time periods with the help of our imaginary time machine and build motor-powered projects for each destination. They will build a prehistoric creature that moves, a futuristic hovercar, a friendly robot, and more! Each project teaches a different STEM skill, from how gears increase speed to how electricity powers motors.

Campers customize projects with their creativity, add colorful and flashing light bricks, and use their builds in activities and fun challenges. It's a great opportunity to explore unique methods of constructing and powering LEGO® creations, and share an enthusiasm for building with teachers and other campers.
