“Math and physics concepts
are built into every Lego project,†says Tiffany Tseng, a graduate researcher in the MIT Media Lab Lifelong
Kindergarten group. “Kids can build
whatever’s in their imagination and, at the same time, develop spatial
reasoning and learn about structural integrity, design, and a practical sense
of geometry.†Lego robotics classes are held in summer camp Edison and summer
camp Hackensack organised by Mindsahead Academy. Lego robotics have so many
benefits to teach them in the early stage as all the science and math concepts
are interrelated to each other. For example in writing an algorithm or coding
in any language student should know math formulas so they can relate their
subjects to coding also. STEM education is preparing kids for today non-stop innovation.
This STEM education and Lego robotics also prepare them for a future job in the
market.
According to Mark Gura LEGO
Robotics “ is a body of teaching and learning practise based on LEGO Robotics
kits, popular sets of materials that enable individuals without formal training
in engineering and computer programming to design, build and program small
scale robotsâ€. The children have many benefits for design and build the LEGO Robotics.
They use their own creative imagination rather than following instructions all
the time. The step by step directions makes them design a robot. The child starts
working on problem-solving skills as they have to build a robot according to
some set of parameters. So LEGO
Robotics classes give the child a wholesome understanding of programming and develop
their critical thinking.
LEGO Robotics acts as a launching pad for children to realise
their passions and give them an open platform to do the experiment. Strong
robotics create leadership as children learn to communicate. Children also
learn to communicate across different technology platform while coding. It also
teaches teamwork skills to children. The Mindsahead Academy develop these
skills in the children and make them future engineers. So parents make them
join LEGO robotics classes and observe the talent your child has.
