Ms. William’s robotics class is an exciting introduction to LEGO Robotics. Students work in teams to design, build and program SPIKE Prime robots to complete team challenges, rescue missions, solve mazes, and FIRST LEGO League challenges. Students use 21st Century skills and apply the principles of STEM to learn in a fun and unique way. Using a coding language based on Scratch and STEAMlearning, SPIKE Prime units build confidence and critical thinking skills while analyzing data and solving complex problems with real-world relevance. This is a 2-period class. “Summer camps are still open. Join us for a SPEF-tacular summer session!”
