Welcome to the world of Lego robotics with Robot U. Students will use LEGO Education's WeDo robotics system for budding engineers to explore the different aspects of robotics and programming through several fun and easy builds. Students will be programming their robots to do numerous tasks - spinning tops, drumming monkeys, and snapping crocodiles are just a few of our fun builds.

This class is tailored to the ability of the students so any skill level is welcome. A typical class begins with a relaxed practice game to warm up. We then go on to a focused lesson that will build on lessons throughout the session. This can include basic opening strategies, tactics, and many of the major checkmate patterns. Then, depending on the week, students practice what they have been learning with games against their peers, play fun variant chess games, solve puzzles, or practice their checkmate patterns. Sportsmanship is stressed throughout.
