Robotics/STEM After-School Program


Have you ever built a LEGO robot? Scholars in Mr. Robinson's Robotics/STEM Class have! At PS4's new Robotics/STEM After-School Club, scholars are exploring the different ways scientists and engineers reach remote places. They are shown strategies on how to create and program Milo the Science Rover using LEGO blocks and coding! The robot is then coded to move forward and backwards. Building Milo was the first project in Mr. Robinson's Robotics/STEM After-School Program



In this first project, Mr. Robinson uses LEGO Education lessons to teach students in grades 4 and 5 about STEM concepts. LEGO® Education Solutions for primary school provides the engaging, hands-on experiences students need to explore core STEM concepts and link them to real-life phenomenon. LEGO® bricks, programming tools, and supporting lesson plans for teachers ignite students natural curiosity, helping them develop essential communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking-skills in a fun and exciting way. Tactile, flexible solutions grow with students as they problem-solve and discover how science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) affect their everyday life. LEGO Education also brings this creative spirit to robotics clubs, coding programs, and maker spaces. With fun new Maker activities, LEGO Education makes the joy of discovery even more accessible.
