In the morning, Discover the workings of simple machines like levers, pulleys and gears. Construct a bridge and other devices using gears and cams to add movement. Build your own movable objects to learn about structural design, mechanical engineering and physics. Then in the afternoon, discover how scientists and engineers use these principles, along with technology, to help people and the planet. Explore how robotics can be used to create solutions such as a robotic hand, a volcanic eruption detector or a secret code transmitter. Learn to build and code simple robotic creations that solve problems using LEGO® WeDo kits.
