Mindstorms Robotics. Level 1 (Sat 1:00pm - 3:00pm)

Our courses consist of two semesters: Level 1 and Level 2, which take place within one year and include a total of 37 classes. Typically, students complete a year of lessons before moving on to a more advanced course. However, in some cases, if their teacher believes they are ready, they can advance earlier.

Mindstorms Robotics (Ages 10 - 15)

What we study:
In the course Mindstorms Robotics, we delve into the exciting world of advanced robotics, mechanics, and programming using the LEGO Mindstorms® EV3 kit. Over the course of 3 semesters, students will have the opportunity to construct and program our most advanced robots. Alongside this hands-on experience, they will also grasp important mathematical and physics concepts that form the basis of their robot's functions. Rather than just hearing about these ideas, students will apply them to their builds and watch them come to life!

A look into the class:
Each lesson is an opportunity for students to learn about the robot they are building. This includes understanding its structure, functions, operational modes, real-life applications, as well as any necessary math and physics principles. Using this knowledge, students will construct their robots, program them, and troubleshoot challenges that may arise during the process.

What we achieve:
Our program is designed to build essential skills , including teamwork, critical thinking, developing scientific and technical literacy, encouraging creativity, and enhancing communication skills.
