Bricks 4 Kidz Goes Mining & Crafting:
An Unofficial Excavation into the Science & Engineering of Minecraft
Experience world-building the Bricks 4 Kidz way! We'll explore the Science & Engineering behind MineCraft ... with LEGO® bricks! From Mining Ores to Animal Mobs to Farming and Fishing and Fighting off Dragons, each class will feature a different science or engineering lesson followed by a mechanized or motorized Technic model of the day - moving and grooving parts. Are you ready to mine and craft the Bricks 4 Kidz way?

Fridays starting April 7:
Jr. Robotics - Simple Machines 401
Note: The materials we cover in Jr Robotics 401 will be different than 101, 201 and 301. Each unit will stand alone, and does not have any prerequisites, so children need not have taken any of the previous courses for 401 to be  good fit.

Description:  Come taste our Junior Robotics recipe ... the Bricks 4 Kidz way. We'll start with a "cup" of Simple Machines -- complete with moving gears, axles, and motors. Next we'll add a tablespoon of programming, using LEGO's WeDo Software. Finally we'll throw in a dash of Sensors -- trying out the tilt and motion sensors to help our Robot Recipe better interact with the world around it. 
Each week will feature a teaching lesson covering aspects of Simple Machines, along with a mechanized model that children work with a partner to complete. We'll also learn how to make the machine move by using the "Command Blocks" to write a program. Sensors can be connected to our model, as well, and additional responses based on input from the sensors can trigger different actions in our program. Kids love being able to "take it to the next level" with Bricks 4 Kidz Junior Robotics!
