Why we love it πŸ’› If you don’t mind taking a drive up to North Jersey, the Verona Public Library is hosting an incredibly popular, bi-weekly LEGO Robotics program! This dedicated afternoon workshop challenges early elementary students to work together to create simple, functional robots using specialized LEGO kits. Kids will learn foundational building skills, creative problem-solving, and an introduction to early coding in a playful, supportive environment. We absolutely love hands-on library programs like this because they show young learners that engineering isn’t just about screensβ€”it’s about creating dynamic, physical machines that interact with the real world!

How this event aligns with iCode Princeton πŸŒˆβš™οΈ Building a robot that follows commands requires the exact same logic we teach in our introductory labs!

  • Sensors and Automation: To complete a robotics challenge, a machine has to be able to follow code! In our Robotics and Hardware Tracks, students take these early LEGO skills to the next level, learning how to program advanced sensors to make their robots autonomously navigate physical tracks and obstacle courses.

  • Structural Engineering: A robot needs to be mechanically sound to move without falling apart. At iCode, we teach our early learners the mechanics of balance, structure, and simple gears, ensuring they can engineer hardware that is perfectly optimized for both function and stability!

Join the funβ€”then keep the momentum going at iCode πŸŽ’πŸš€ Build your first robot at the library, then bring that world-class curiosity to iCode Princeton where we turn early physical engineering into lifelong tech innovation!
