Robotics 2.0

Advanced robotics and engineering challenges at The STEM Lab

The Robotics 2.0 Program takes students beyond the basics, offering an advanced and exciting challenge that builds on the foundations of Robotics 1.0. By combining LEGO Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, and Coding, participants dive into designing and programming more complex machines.

Students learn how to integrate multiple motors, sensors, and coding logic to create robots capable of performing several tasks simultaneously. The program culminates in a team robotics challenge, where students design, test, and compete with their robots to complete tasks and earn points.

This fun, hands-on, and competitive experience pushes students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and embrace learning through iteration and problem-solving.
