LEGO Robotics: Sumo-Bot Competition

Ages 8-15

Participants use LEGO Spike sets to build a robot, code it using Scratch, and then test and improve their creations. Each workshop consists of a challenge designed to teach students the concepts that make up basic robotics and mechanical engineering. Challenges are geared toward a student who has never programmed or built a robot before.  Snack will be provided although you are welcome to bring your own if you have dietary restrictions.

The Sumo-Bot Competition: This challenge is always a favorite: the participants will build their robot to wrestle an opposing robot out of a ring. Flippers and pushers are all allowed!
