Course Content
Build and program robots with LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime and make the transition from block-based programming to Python. An ongoing course in small groups (max. 7 children).
No prior experience with Python is required. We'll start with the basics of MicroPython and learn, step by step, how to use the LEGO® SPIKE™ API to control motors, sensors, and the display.
Language: Dutch & English
What will you learn?
-
Python Basics
Variables, functions, loops, and conditions.
-
LEGO® SPIKE™ API
Program the motors, sensors, buttons, and the display.
-
Robot Challenges
Apply your code to increasingly challenging robots and tasks.
Robotics & Mechanics
Children continue to build with the LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime set and apply their knowledge of mechanics, motors, and sensors to create increasingly challenging robots. The focus is on combining smart robot design with Python code, so that robots can move, measure, and respond to their environment with precision.
By building, programming, testing, and improving, children develop both their technical understanding and their programming skills.
Programming
Children make the transition from word-based programming to Python (MicroPython). They learn to work with variables, functions, loops, and conditional statements, and use the LEGO® SPIKE™ API to control motors, sensors, and the display.
By testing, improving, and expanding their code, children develop programming skills, logical thinking, and a structured approach to problem-solving.
