LEGO® Robotics Build & Code
10:00am-12:00pm
Entering Grades 1-5
Fee $115
VIRTUAL OFFERING
This workshop is designed to develop building and programming skills. Participants will work with
LEGO® WeDo 2.0 to explore and produce a variety of working models. *Siblings can attend 100%
FREE. Our LEGO programs are perfect for partners so two children from the same household could
work together but only pay for one. All instruction will take place through Zoom. Parents will receive a
Meeting ID and Password through email. Participants will need a separate device to listen to and view
Zoom instruction. The computer provided by Seacoast Technology Workshops will have LEGO
software pre-loaded and DOES NOT need to be connected to a wifi network. One perk of a remote
“camp” versus an onsite traditional camp is that children could continue using the LEGO Robotics kits
beyond the normal live Zoom hours! Participants DO NOT keep their projects.Min 4/Max 14
