IDEA Club: Lego Lab Days (Ages 10-14)

 

IDEA Club, Mission 8: mBot Ranger

We're doing another mBot kit. This one is a bit more advanced. These programable vehicles can follow lines, follow simple coding, or be controlled like an RC car. Kit availability is limited so don't miss out!

IDEA Club, Mission 7: mBot

 

We've moved on from Lego builds to mBot kits. These programable vehicles can follow lines, follow simple coding, or be controlled like an RC car. Kit availability is limited so don't miss out!

IDEA Club, Mission 6: Frankie the Cat

Lets see Frankie in action. This is just a small sampling of what you can do with this kit. 

You can do more complex or simpler programming, make it behave realistically or be funny and make Frankie burp and fart! Using the Lego Boost app on a smart device the build and coding are broken down into manageable segments. Assembly is the same user-friendly build style you're used to in paper form. Then, coding segments are interspersed throughout. Once complete you have the option to map your own coding in a "Scratch-like" sandbox mode. The possibilities are limitless!!!

This is our last Lego Boost mission. However, we do still have a few more missions coming up so watch this blog and our social media for updates.

IDEA Club, Mission 5: Guitar 4k

 

IDEA Club, Mission 4: Vernie the Robot

Mission 4 kits are available now! IDEA Club is only open to 4th-8th graders (and homeschool equivalent) holding Lillie M Evans Library cards.

IMPORTANT: Read Me document for these "intro to robotics & programming/coding" style kits.

IDEA Club is made possible by a grant from Project Next Generation and the Illinois State Library to establish a Lego program we're calling "IDEA Club" (Imagine, Design, Enact, Achieve). This program is currently limited to 4th-8th graders (and homeschool equivalent) while we fulfill our grant requirements.
