Advanced Robotics with LEGO Spike

Using LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set and Activity Pack, campers embark on an exciting exploration of robotics with a contemporary and immersive theme: the journey to and habitation of Mars!

An easy–entry project to limitless creative design possibilities, SPIKE Prime helps campers learn the essential STEAM and 21st century skills needed to become the innovative minds of tomorrow using the following tools… while having fun!

• colorful LEGO building elements
• easy–to–use hardware
• an intuitive drag–and–drop coding language based on Scratch
• text–based coding with Python

Key Camper Projects include:

• Delve into the fundamentals of gears, applying principles of physical science and math to construct robots
• Building a driving vehicle
• Exploring forecasts, weather and cloud data
• Detecting moving objects
• Exploring and comparing the efficiency of two robotic arms
• Studying how robots can complete tasks in space that humans cannot

Our space engineers take on the role of researchers, navigating through a captivating journey where they explore, strategize, and tackle three pivotal challenges mirroring those faced by NASA’s engineers and scientists:

• Ensuring human survival in space
• Pioneering energy creation in space
• Harnessing the capabilities of robots to aid human exploration of space.
• This program not only imparts essential STEM skills but also instills a passion for space exploration, inspiring the next generation of innovators and problem solvers.
