The Chasewood Robotics Academy is a comprehensive before/after school enrichment program where children are learning to design, build, and program robotic projects.

Using a creative educational approach that supports Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), this class is led by Chasewood Learning’s teacher led instruction followed by fun, engaging and dynamic activities.

Younger students, typically K through third grade, learn by using the LEGO Education WeDo system. Students are introduced to basic robotics and mechanical engineering concepts by building and coding a different project each week. Projects use motors, gears, pulleys, cams, and sensors! Independent building challenges will be given to students as they progress through levels.

Older students, typically third grade and up, use the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot system, learning how to program a robot to maneuver by controlling motors; read sensors such as light sensors, ultrasonic sensors and push buttons; manipulate objects using a robotic arm; programming techniques such as switch statements, loops, and parallel programing; advanced topics such as messaging, Bluetooth communication, color sensing… and more!
