STEM Robotics Class

Saturdays, March 3-24

9:00-10:15am Grades 1-4 10:15-11:30am Grades 4+ Looking for a new experience that will spark your child’s interest in STEM, build skills for the future and be a ton of fun? Sylvan Learning of Twinsburg is teaming up with Macedonia Rec. Center to offer a STEM Robotics program! Your child will learn how to build and program robots with LEGO® bricks and software — all while making friends, developing new skills and having a great time with STEM. For many kids, robotics class is a highlight of their week. In each Robotics for Kids class, your child and a buddy work together to plan and build a new robot using LEGO® bricks, letting their creativity and imaginations loose. Each session, there’s a new challenge to solve, a new experiment to conduct and a new robot to build. Along the way, they learn science and engineering concepts, such as how pulleys, levers and motors work. As the kids’ robots take shape, they experiment with LEGO® Education’s award-winning WeDo™ software. They discover how to apply computer programming concepts and find new ways to get their “bot” moving. Then, the energy levels (and smiles) really reach a high point, as the kids challenge other teams to friendly games or take part in imaginative play. At the end of each robotics class, your child enjoys a wrap-up activity to reinforce the STEM skills he or she learned in class. You’ll hear all about it on the way home! Plus you can expect regular emails from us, so you can learn about your child’s progress and the cool concepts from class. Register at the Macedonia Rec. Center before the February 26 deadline date. Fee: $105 per person
