LEGO Robotics: Dragster Racer Blaster

About the Class

The Village Kids’ Club and Alameda Bricks 4 Kidz are collaborating on a special class series: LEGO Robot Creators - a STEM and Robotics Journey! The series of 6 classes are held on Thursdays from 5:15-6:15, starting April 18 through May 23rd. Session 5, May 16: LEGO Dragster Racer - Blasting down a quarter-mile track in just 4 ½ seconds, a dragster accelerates faster than a jumbo jet, a fighter jet, or a Formula One race car! At the end of the run, the dragster is going more than 300 miles per hour! In this lesson, we will build our own motorized LEGO dragster and we’ll find out how the dragster can go so fast, and learn about the special equipment needed to race these amazing cars. More About the Course: Kids 1st-5th grade will build and operate a different robot in each class. They get a super-fun, crash course in robotics, and we break down complex STEM concepts into hands-on lessons. Students use LEGO Bricks to build models and bring them to life with gears and motors while learning teamwork and communication skills. LEGO robotics programs improve kids' ability to apply scientific ideas to real-life projects and create tangible results. It's also a load of fun, helping kids to connect science to positive experiences! Alameda Bricks for Kidz is owned and operated by Stacey Foley, who also serves as an educator at Otis Elementary, directing the STEAM Lab and crafting curriculum for over 600 K-5 students weekly.
