  • Building Construction 1 | July 12- July 16 9:00-3:00PM | Our maker space's goal is to provide students with a hands-on, creative, user friendly, “anytime, anyplace”, opportunity to build and create things. This class will allow students the opportunities to use basic construction building tools. We will be constructing projects that could include yard games like corn hole and Yahtzee! If you joined us last year, come again and make something brand new. 
  • NXT Mindstorm Robotics | July 12-16 9:00-3:00 PM | Do you love the Disney / Pixar movie WALL·E? Do you like to build things using LEGOs? Have you ever thought about programing your own robot? If you answer yes to these questions our LEGO Robotics course is for you! This introductory course introduces students to the basics of NXT LEGO Robotics. Students will work in teams to design, build and program their own robots. Students will be involved with programming their robots through several challenges. 
  • EV3 Mindstorm | July 19- July 23 9:00-3:00PM | Come and experience the newest addition to the Lego team of robots. This newer system allows students to engineer and design brand new builds and increase their programing skills. If they like NXT, they will love EV3.
