LEGO Master Engineers and Stop Animation (ages 6-8)
Become a master superhero builder as we create LEGO vehicles, structures, and machines. Using STEM principles students will engineer ways to protect themselves by constructing superhero cars, magnet levitation trains, pulleys, and more! Students will use gears and motors to learn about mechanical devices such as levers, magnets, wheel and axles. 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.
Build, Modify, Code LEGO Motorized cars and Stop Motion Animation (ages 6-8)
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.
Minecraft Missions, Stop Motion Animation and Minecraft (ages 9-13)
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.
