Give making a robotic toy a spin! Create a robot that uses LEGO motors and sensors to fulfill an entertaining purpose. Join Imagination Station to learn how to turn a simple concept into a heap of fun! Learn how many toys that we use today make use of robotics to work the way they do. In this class, students will make use of coding concepts to get their spinning tops up to speed and detect when they want to release them.

We recommend this class to students aged 5-8. Students do not require any prior experience with LEGO robotics, but this class is a great next step if they have already completed our My First Robotics.

Imagination Station does not supervise students between classes, this is the responsibility of the parent/caregiver. Some courses may be run in multiple locations. Please check individual session listings carefully for details.
