HuckleBerry's
Lego Robotics & Engineering!
HuckleBerry partners with Play-Well Teknology to provide our suite of Lego Engineering classes! These are extremely hands-on classes with no homework and no paperwork from the class itself;
it's ALL building, experimenting, re-building, re-experimenting!
​
In each class, instructors are teaching STEM concepts & vocabulary with an emphasis in physics and engineering. Students learn how gears work, where fulcrums should be placed, trajectories, energy displacement, tower / shape strength and so much more through their projects and experimentation. Lessons are learned through team and solo play and experimentation.
These classes tend to fill fast!
Lego Engineering
for new and continuing students!
​
9:30 - 11:00 - Ages 6-9
​
Let your imagination run wild with tens of thousands of LEGO® parts! Build engineer-designed projects and use special pieces to create your own unique designs! Projects are rotated seasonally to ensure that both new and returning students can explore the endless creative possibilities of the LEGO® building system. Some of the concepts that kids learn in our Engineering classes are about trajectory, pivot points, LOTS of practice with gears, gear ratios and moving objects through gear usage, loading constraints, tension and so much more!
​
All NEW projects for Winter and Spring 2025!

ROBOTICS
Explore Coding using the LEGO® Spike Prime System
New and continuing students welcomed!
​
11:15 - 12:45 - Ages 9-12
​​
Rise to the challenge to build and program robots using the LEGO® Spike Prime system!
Learn about mechanical and software design, loops, conditional statements, problem solving, and teamwork skills.
Design and construct your robot to avoid obstacles, pick up and carry objects, and play sounds. Projects are structured so that students work in an open-ended, investigative environment while having fun.
​
ALL NEW PROJECTS FOR OUR WINTER SESSION!
We start this session off with a review of everything we learned in the Fall session before we continue on with all new projects! Some of our projects will include a Minecraft theme where we continue to hone our programming and robotics skills!​
ROBOTICS
Learn Coding using the LEGO® Spike Prime System
​
1:15 - 2:45 - Ages 7-11
Learn Coding using the LEGO® Spike Prime System Build and program robots in this Robotics class using the LEGO® Spike Prime® system. Students will move into more advanced programing techniques while they use small teams to build and test new robotics challenges.
In the fall, students learned basic programming skills using a simple and visual block coding system that allow kids to grasp new and diverse coding challenges.
In the WINTER SESSION, we will start with a review of skills already learned and then we will extend into more challenging projects! New students are welcome to join into the fun, but should already have experience with building using Legos. Learn about mechanical and software design, loops, conditional statements, problem solving, and teamwork skills. Students will design and construct robotd to avoid obstacles, pick up and carry objects, and play sounds. Projects are structured so that students work in an open-ended, investigative environment while having fun.
