LEGO® Robotics
Discover the ultimate LEGO® challenge: Powerful LEGO MINDSTORMS® EV3! LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 gives you the power to create and command your own robotic LEGO creatures, vehicles, machines and inventions! By combining LEGO® elements with a programmable brick, motors and sensors, you can make your creations walk, talk, grab, think, shoot and do almost anything you can imagine! We will build things like a humanoid robot, a shooting scorpion, a slithering snake, a forklift, a race truck, an electric guitar, a walking dinosaur and many more! Each robot comes complete with its own unique features and a program that controls the robot’s behavior! With our KidzToPros LEGO Robotics program, you will discover the endless possibilities of LEGO and your imagination!

Electronic Game Design - "Tower Defense Games: Monkeys vs. Balloons"
In this program, students will work in pairs to create their own Tower Defense game that will let monkeys loose to throw darts and bananas at balloons. Students will create a storyboard for their game, then bring the storyboard to life with programming. At the end of the class, everyone takes home a working Windows-compatible game.
