My Lego Robot Is Better Than Yours...
HCC College for Kids - Rising 4th and 5th Grade - Students will work in a partner group to build one robot.
Welcome to your first class in LEGO Robotics. Before long, you’ll be in control of your robot as you learn to program your creation to move in different directions or sense light versus dark. Projects will include building various robots that involve motors, gears, light sensors, touch sensors, and even music.
