In this course, we will work with the more powerful LEGO SPIKE Prime set. With it, kids can build bigger and smarter robots and use multiple motors and sensors at the same time. This set offers plenty of opportunities as well as challenges - perfect for curious 10-12 year olds learning about robotics for the first time, but also suitable for children ages 8 and up who have taken the Essence course with us and are ready for the next step.
Robotics & Mechanics
In this course, children work with the more powerful LEGO SPIKE Prime set, which allows them to build larger and more complex robots and control multiple motors and sensors simultaneously. This makes the projects more challenging as well as more fun.
They delve further into mechanical principles such as transmissions, levers and smart motion systems, and apply them to build robots that are more responsive to their environment and perform more complex tasks. The extensive capabilities of the Prime hub allow all children to complete projects creatively and challengingly within the course curriculum.
Programming
With LEGO SPIKE Prime, children learn to program in a visual programming language based on Scratch. They build their programming skills step by step by working with variables, logic and functions, and learn how to build their code clearly and efficiently.
The more powerful hardware and additional programming capabilities allow the children to control more complex robots, further develop their problem-solving abilities as well as gain confidence in designing smart solutions.
