Teens: Robotics & Programming for Teens  

Hands-on Design, Building and Programming of Robots

Design, build, program and battle robots. Explore different robots types such as driving robots, walking robots and rope-climbing robots to find the best robot suited for any task. Create different robots to solve problems in real-world situations using the award-winning LEGO® MINDSTORM® NXT robotics kit.

Create your ultimate “Sumo bot” and watch it compete against other robots in the exciting Robotic Sumo Competition at the end of the week. Challenge yourself to solve problems and think critically, while working with others and sharing ideas. New to programming, robotics or an aspiring engineer? Expand your knowledge of robotics and have a great time building and battling bots with others who share your interest.
