This our standard beginner course, suitable for both NXT® and EV3®. Students using Project Bucephalus equipment will work with EV3®. Students are introduced to LEGO® MINDSTORMS®, learning the basics of robotics and programming as they build robots capable of reacting to their environment and making simple decisions. The second day of the workshop finishes with the ever-popular “Robot Sumo” challenge and a tournament where all families are welcome. No previous experience is required. While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult.
Note: Introduction to MINDSTORMS® is our recommended course for novice students. However, Mastermind can serve as an alternate for students who feel the Introduction course is too simple. Contact Us if you would like more information.

Crack the code! In Mastermind, students will design, build, and program cunning puzzles and traps, which their classmates will then have to solve or bypass. The ultimate test will come when the devices are given the ability to communicate with each other, as they cooperate to foil the human intruders. Students will explore the use of Arrays and Bluetooth communication as well as other advanced programming concepts.
This is course contains both teacher-led and free-design material. Students are encouraged to design their own devices, but will be lead through complex programming as a group. This is designed for students already familiar with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® – or novices able to cope with a steep learning curve! While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult.Contact Us if you would like more information.
