Description:

Join us as race into the world of CARS and learn how to create, build, and modify motorized LEGO brick machines! Before each LEGO brick creation staff will discuss key engineering and physics concepts with the children and how they relate to our builds. Students will then build their LEGO brick cars using axles, gears, pulleys, battery packs and motors.  In addition, children will code their LEGO builds using a drag-and-drop based  interface using Bluetooth technology. In the afternoon, students will build their own mini movie set, learn the parts of a story and create an animated movie using LEGO mini figures and other objects. The students will also learn how to edit their movies, attach music, and add titles/credits using Professional Stop Animation software.
