Adventures in LEGO Technics! Ages 9+ - LEGO Carousel with Hailfire Droid Gear

** This class will be at the Boy Scout Sea Base in Naples, near Belmont Shore. **

Adventures with LEGO & Kinetic Art!

This first session in the series will be based on the LEGO Hailfire Droid gear.

I've got me 5 of these lovely gears, and 4 more on the way!

Teams of kids will work on building to a design that I've made (very proud of this).

Then we'll brainstorm what else they can do with it!

Making things move with LEGO bricks. We've got our foundation and we're making things move. Each class will have an open-challenge for the students to solve. We will review how others have done it, then it's up to them to make it happen! Topics covered: making things move up, down, and around. Creating with things that move. Includes key take-home elements to demonstrate gear ratio, movement and other simple machines for work at home. Sorry, the Hailfire Droid Gears stay with me!
