The MindStorms behind our robotics programmes
Robots carry an image of either a humanoid or a metal creature with tons of soldering and electrical circuits. Lego, however, brings the beauty of robotics through "MindStorms NXT", a robotics sytem that carries an appeal well beyond age and gender. In particular, our programmes are designed to:
- Offer over 150 robot projects of increasing difficulty to choose from spanning our entire robotics program
- Caters to a variety of interests and abilities
- Delves into experiencing Science concepts of Newton's laws, force, energy, friction, simple machines, and an in-depth study of gears, levers, pulleys, & cams
- Radius of turn, circle, speed, distance, time are a few of the Math concepts encountered
- Creative design challenges such as transforming a car into a crawling instect & vice versa
- Daily project extensions provide the framework for continuing set of challenges
- Construct one or more projects every session
