Course features
HOW
This course will feature the following:
Mechanical Engineering - students get hands-on building and making, learning how parts fit together and why things stay strong. They design and create a special case for their project, turning ideas into something real they can hold.
Electrical Engineering - students dive into the world of wires and signals as they build their own working FM radio. With safe soldering and teamwork, they discover how tiny components come together to make sound and bring technology to life.
Robotics - students become robot trainers, teaching machines how to move, think, and react. Using Python, they program LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime robots to respond to their surroundings and complete exciting challenges.
