Play-Well TEKnologies offers an engaging, project-based learning experience where children explore fundamental STEM concepts through play with tens of thousands of LEGO® pieces and engineer-designed curriculum.
In this Play-Well TEKnologies camp, children ages 7-10 will delve into the world of Minecraft, bringing its concepts to life through LEGO® Spike Prime robotics. Participants will engage in hands-on building and programming, developing fundamental engineering and coding skills. The curriculum focuses on practical application, as students work in pairs to construct LEGO®-based robots that incorporate motors, sensors, and lights. Activities include navigating through Minecraft biomes, strategically harvesting resources, and ultimately confronting the Ender Dragon. This introductory robotics class encourages problem-solving, creative expression, and a deeper understanding of how things work, all within a fun and supportive environment. The program aims to boost confidence and collaboration skills, providing new challenges for returning students with evolving projects and advanced modifications.
A typical day involves working on two different engineering and architectural projects. Each project begins with an introduction and short presentation by the instructor, followed by a design and building assignment using tens of thousands of LEGO® parts. Students are encouraged to explore, test, modify, and rebuild their creations, with instructors providing assistance and introducing engineering terminology.
This camp is best for elementary-aged students (7-10) who are interested in Minecraft, robotics, and hands-on building with LEGO® and want to develop problem-solving and engineering skills.
