LEGO Robotics Teacher
As a LEGO Robotics teacher, I guide children ages 5
- 12 as they build robots and robotics skills. Using LEGO Mindstorms, students
collaborate on designing robots while they learn about the basics of robotic
history, construction and programming. By exploring their own natural curiosity,
children acquire a basic familiarity with principles of construction, computer
logic, and technological design skills.
