Robotics & Software Engineering

The Robotics & Software enrichment program provides theoretical knowledge in software and mechanical engineering combined with mathematics and physics. The program includes real-life practical software programming and the Young Engineers Edutainment approach, which combines learning with playing.

In each lesson, the children build a model using LEGO® bricks and components that demonstrates the lesson’s subject. Each group receives a unique kit which is designed and manufactured especially for this purpose as well as programmatic interface tools, including NXT Intelligent bricks, sensors and servo motors. A new subject will be taught every lesson and will take the children several steps toward understanding and using the scientific-engineering solution learned during the session.

Suitable for: 7th – 12th Grade

Average lesson duration: 90 minutes

Young Engineers Robotics Enrichment Program
