TechKnowHow LEGO® Robotics and Coding Camps
To learn Python and Java coding, students create over 20 projects a week, beginning with simple interactive games, such as Guess-the-Number, where students learn about mathematical functions, variables and input commands. They progress to creating art and animations by coding with condi- tional statements and loops, and then use all of their skills to make arcade games (think Space Invaders and Brick Breaker) entirely with code. Students
TechKnowHow LEGO® Robotics and Coding Camps is the place where children get excited about technology and science as they develop new STEM skills. They learn how circuits work while building motorized LEGO®-scale versions of Disneyland® rides. They program robots to simulate the Mars Rover, learn coding while making Star Wars® or Pokemon®-themed games, and so much more. Both you and your child will love our engaging and edu- cational program! TechKnowHow has been teach-
complete the class with a rich set of programming skills and a portfolio of projects. Java students even use their skills to program Arduino- based robots and electronic gadgets in class. Our camps typically have 2 teachers and 20 students. The teachers come from a variety of backgrounds in education or tech- nology studies, but of all have a desire to help students learn about technology in a fun way. The teach- ers explain project instructions and concepts first, then guide and assist
ing technology skills to Bay Area students for 24 years. We have won numerous awards from parent groups during that time. Parents are very pleased with the education component, but also appreciate the caring attention from the instruc- tors. Students in TechKnowHow camps immerse themselves in pro- jects where they develop technolo- gy skills, from engineering to cod- ing. The LEGO®-based camps go

beyond just construction – students learn to pro- gram instructions into their builds (robotics), use receivers for remote control operation, and learn design principles. We stress mechanical engineering concepts, robotics and teamwork throughout the day. In the Magic Park Imagineering Camp, students ages 6-8 create motorized LEGO®-scale versions of favorite Disneyland-type rides including Racers Cars and Jungle Cruise boats. They learn about cir- cuits as they wire components such as motors, bat- tery modules and switches into the rides. It’s just one example of combining themes that students are interested in with challenging science and technolo- gy based education.
