Robotic & Coding FIRST LEGO League Challenge class

The FIRST LEGO League Challenge is an international competition that encourages children to engage in research, problem-solving, coding, and engineering by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks. Aimed at students aged 9-16, the challenge is themed differently each year and focuses on real-world problems. Teams design, build, and program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS technology, and then compete on a table-top playing field. Along with the robotics aspect, teams also develop a project to solve a problem related to the year's theme. The competition emphasizes teamwork, innovation, and professional skills.

This course will provide comprehensive training in robotics and programming, utilizing LEGO MINDSTORMS technology. Students will learn to design, build, and code robots, developing skills crucial for competing in the challenge. The course will also cover problem-solving and teamwork, preparing students to excel not just in the robotics aspect, but also in developing innovative projects aligned with the annual theme of the competition. This is an ideal opportunity for young enthusiasts to immerse themselves in STEM and enhance their abilities in a competitive yet collaborative environment.
