Build a machine with Lego Wedo and Programme it with Scratch to become
a mechanical masterpiece! KEEPIN’ IT SHORT & SNAPPY For kids ages
7-9 8 weeks 2h/week (16 hours in total) LEGO! Coding + Robotics Ideal
if child has some basic Scratch programming knowledge "My
kids had a blast & came home armed with knowledge & information which
they were excited to share with us." - Joanne, Parent Build a
machine with Lego Wedo and Programme it with Scratch to make a
mechanical masterpiece! Anyone can build a simple catapult but how do
you build one that’s programmed to move on its own? With code of
course! Learn how different components of mechanical systems come
together and enhance them through programming. Kids get to build
robots that move, self-driving cars, machines that can take over the
world and all that jazz. Just when you thought Lego couldn’t get
more awesome, then came Lego Wedo. TADA! Lego Wedo’s similar to
the Lego bricks everyone knows and love... BUT these come with
sensors, motors and other mechanical parts. What's even cooler?
Lego Wedo’s compatible with Scratch programming. Kids connect it to
the computer and use Scratch to control their Lego
inventions! Here’s a ticket dispensing machine built and programmed
by one of our students (doesn't this remind you of how an ATM works?)
Kids not only learn how machines can be programmed, bridging the gap
between hardware & software, but are also shown how the 2 are
seamlessly interconnected & are increasingly ever present in everyday
life. Open their eyes to a world of possibilities! OH! THE STUFF
YOU'LL LEARN! What’s Lego Wedo Mechanics: How Sensors & Motors work

your parents what you've learnt! LIFE SKILLS LEARNT Logical

Pedagogy No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real
life, we're all about trying things out, failing, figuring what went
wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a
lifetime. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who
learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who
solve real world problems to make meaningful impact. Parents love
us "...and for the first time he is not running to play other
people's creations but his own... I am absolutely delighted in the
'mindset' change in my son's attitude." - Emma, Parent "Thank you
for a wonderful and exciting enrichment program that is so much more
than academics.. it's fun but for me as a mum, an important future
skill set for my son." - Rachel, Parent Got more questions on
this course of awesomeness? Read our FAQ section below! Call us &

Frequently Asked Questions 1. My child is new to computers and
programming. Will he / she be able to follow? It will be ideal if the
child is familiar with the Scratch programming interface, but most
students are able to follow even if they are absolute beginners.
2. My child is younger than 7. Can he / she join? The Scratch x Lego
WeDo workshop is recommended for 7-9 year olds. If your child is still
in preschool, we recommend Curious Cubs or Tiny Techies which can be
found on our schedule page. 3. I've enrolled my child, what will
he/she need to bring? We’ll provide all equipment and materials, but
you may want to bring a jacket and light snacks in case he/she gets
hungry. Please note: This workshop will proceed with a minimum
