During the first semester, we will be teaching children the basics of how to build and program a LEGO Mindstorms robot, as well as how to use it to solve problems with tools such as ultrasonic and color sensors.
During the second semester we will transition to the SPIKE platform by LEGO, and will work to mentor the children on how to use it to solve the FIRST Lego League Challenge with the goal of hosting a friendly tournament at the end of the year (around april).
