Summer Lab combines the resources and faculty of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools with exciting programs, all within an unparalleled university setting.
The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools' Summer Lab offers a LEGO® Robotics program for students entering grades 1-2. This junior robotics course provides a hands-on approach to STEM discovery, where students learn valuable coding concepts while using their imaginations to create and program robots. Campers will build a variety of LEGO robots based around a motor and controller, then use a block-based programming language to bring their creations to life. The program aims to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence in each child through engaging instruction and team-building activities. Students will develop skills in robotics, craftsmanship, design, and technology, fostering analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where students build and program LEGO robots, engage in creative arts, and participate in science activities.
This camp is ideal for young students entering grades 1-2 who are curious about STEM, enjoy hands-on building, and are interested in learning basic coding and robotics.
