Description:

Come and join us as we design, build, and program robots that interact, perform complex tasks, and respond to challenges. Students will use LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 motors, sensors and gears to enhance their robotics skills by completing missions within the Minecraft World. Come all Minecrafters and help us battle and defeat the Enderman! Dur­ing the after­noon students will cre­ate their very own LEGO Stop Ani­ma­tions.  Students will build their own mini movie set and create an animated movie using LEGO mini figures and other objects. The students will also learn how to edit their movies, add sound and add titles/credits using Professional Stop Animation software. During the afternoon children will use Minecraft to complete tasks such as building mazes that are filled with traps and defenses to protect them from arch enemies. They will learn how to use Command Blocks and Redstone to create traps and other cool defenses. In addition, in the afternoon, children will have the opportunity to produce their own LEGO stop motion animation. Students will be able to build their own movie sets and devise their own plot, with LEGO mini figures and other LEGO bricks, using professional stop motion animation software.
