LOVE LEGO? Then this STEAM Saturday is for you! At LEGO Robotics STEAM Saturday, kids will combine LEGO bricks with motors, sensors, and simple machines to create a moving robot! Kids will use their creativity to create LEGO robots that can complete challenges and tasks. They will use the materials to navigate mazes, create vehicles, and travel various distances. Kids will explore the different parts of the robot before constructing, programming, and controlling the LEGO creation. This session will not repeat activities from any previous STEAM Saturday event!

Kids will ring in the New Year and celebrate with STEAM during the Fab Lab Center's "Noon" Year's Eve Celebration! Kids will create their own party poppers, discover the engineering behind the New Year's Eve ball drop, and design floats for our very own robot parade. We will ring in 2023 at Noon with a light snack and juice!

Kids will light up the Fab Lab as they explore circuits and electricity! Kids will complete experiments to test how the energy moves in a circuit in order to get a light bulb to glow. They will also learn how to code a light to turn on and off. It is sure to be electrifying!

Kids will explore force and motion to build catapults to launch various candy materials! Using the engineering design process, kids will engage in a competition to move candy from one location to another. What type of catapults will launch the candy the farthest? Sign up today to find out!

Kids will help to transform robots into superhero characters and learn to ‘code’ (give their robot directions) so they have superhero abilities. Superhero robots use special skills to fly, climb, jump, shapeshift, and have other superpowers. Kids will use a wide variety of robots (depending on their age), such as Ozobots, Dash, Lego WeDo, Sphero, and Finch to use their imaginations to combine creativity, design, construction, building, and coding! This is guaranteed to be a whole lot of FUN!
