LEGO Robotics: Build, Code, Explore

Students learn to build and program LEGO robots through hands-on challenges inspired by the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) Elementary division. Each week introduces new skills, building toward a mini-competition in the final session.

Meetings on May 2, 9, 16, and 30.

⏱️Duration: 4 Weeks (1.5 hrs/class)
🎒Ages: Upper Elementary Students

Week 1 — Build & Drive

Students build a sturdy robot base, connect motors, and learn to drive straight, turn, and control distance. The focus is on strong structure and basic movement.

Challenge: Build a robot that can cross the room and complete a simple checkpoint course.

Week 2 — Sensors & Accuracy

Students improve precision driving while learning to use color and distance sensors. They program the robot to detect lines, stop before obstacles, and follow a path.

Challenge: Navigate a course and follow a line from start to finish without losing it.

Week 3 — Logic & Attachments

Students combine sensors with loops and conditional programming so the robot can make decisions. They also design simple attachments such as grabbers or pushers for specific tasks.

Challenge: Sort colored objects into the correct zones and use an attachment to move objects to a target area.

Week 4 — Strategy & Competition

Students bring all their skills together in a final multi-mission challenge that includes driving, sensing, object handling, and teamwork. They plan a strategy, choose attachments, and complete timed attempts.

Challenge: Complete a competition mat for the highest score.

What Students Learn

  • Building: Structural design, gear ratios, and custom attachments
  • Coding: Sequential programs, loops, sensor-based decisions
  • Problem-solving: Breaking big tasks into smaller steps, debugging when things go wrong
  • Teamwork: Planning a strategy together and dividing roles
