RoboPets - LEGO® Robotics for PreSchoolers


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 07/24/2020
Children will begin to explore the world of robotics as they build moving animals that teach the fundamentals of robotic design. Whether learning about animal habitats, or discovering ways that gears and pulleys create movement while building dancing birds and robotic dogs, your child is sure to have a great time.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Children will begin to explore the world of robotics as they build simple animal models that teach the fundamentals of robotic design. Whether learning about sensors while building a fish or alligator or discovering ways that gears and wheels and axles create movement while building robotic dogs or frog, your child is sure to have a great time!

What the Students Will Learn

  • Axles, Wheels, Gears, and Motors
    Children will learn about the importance of axles, wheels, gears, and motors in mechanical movement. They will actively experiment with these components to create their robots, while facilitating a deeper understanding of mechanics.

  • Programming Skills
    Each week, children will be given a simple program to operate their robotic build. Students are then encouraged to use critical thinking and programming skills to enhance their robot’s program. Whether making their build respond to motion and tilt sensors, adding loops, or creating fun sounds, children will learn valuable programming skills in an easy to use, drag and drop programming format.

  • Habitats and Basic Needs
    Students will learn about habitats and examine the basic needs of different animals, including those that are robotic! They will build creatively to design a perfect home for their new robotic pets!

  • Teamwork/Partner Skills

    At Snapology, teamwork is essential for creating a fun and productive atmosphere while practicing social skills. Your child will work with a partner to create each robot and solve each challenge presented in class.
