Lego Workshops

Mindscale Learning Inc. classes cover a wide range of curriculum targets within science, technology, engineering and math in a fun, hands-on and engaging way. Our solutions are designed to encourage students use their imagination, try out their problem-solving skills and cooperate with others.  Each contributes to the process of designing, building and testing solutions. Students are encouraged to ask questions, get involved with other students in the class, and participate in classroom discussions.  At the end of class, students take home and keep the models that they have built. 

Mindscale Learning Inc. programs are offered in a variety of formats such as:

  • After-school Programs
  • In-Class Workshops
  • Summer & Vacation Programs
  • Special Events

LEGO Robotics
LEGO Robotics workshop allows students to build Robots and other Electro-Mechanical contraptions and learn to control their movement.  They also learn about various sensors (Light / Touch / Temperature) and feedback systems.  Software engineering concepts are introduced and they create simple programs that are downloaded to the robot.

Computer Aided 3-D modeling is also introduced in this workshop. LEGO™ MINDSTORMS™ is used as the platform for teaching.As a part of the camp, students have group competitions as well as individual challenges. In addition, classroom Math and Science concepts are incorporated into projects and discussed in a cordial way that keeps scientific exploration exciting.
