EV3 is a branch of robot that is made by Lego, for grades 4-8. This robot is completely made of legos, and is programmed using Lego Mindstorms, a drag-and-drop coding tool. This is the robot of choice for the FLL Robotics Competition, but we are using it to get students interested in robotics and programming.
Agenda:
- Beginner Classes - how to operate the EV3 Mindstorms software, how to program a robot, how to assess the quality of a program, how to use sensors
- Advanced Classes - how to build specific tools to compete tasks, how to accomplish complicated missions, how to combine sensors with programs

WeDo is also created by Lego, but is has been geared towards younger students, in grades K-3. It uses a similar type of coding as EV3, but with a smaller, more understandable variety of blocks. WeDo is the kit of choice for Jr. FLL robotics. Stay tuned for the dates on our WeDo classes!
Agenda:
- how to make a robot with sensors, how to program a robot using WeDo 2.0 software

Robotics with finch robots
Designed at Carnegie Mellon University, the Finch is a robot that inspires and delights students learning computer science by providing them a tangible representation of their code. The Finch responds to light, temperature, and obstacles, among many other capabilities. It also has support for a range of programming languages and environments, with coding options for students from ages 5 to 105!
The Finch is designed to allow students to write richly interactive programs. On-board features include:
