STEAMing at the Library: LEGO Robotics

We’re excited to host a new 4-part series of STEAM workshops for youth that will take place at the Lewisville Branch in the upcoming months. In partnership with the N.C. Cooperative Extension, youth will learn fun, creative, and informative ways to use STEAM using ordinary objects.

LEGO Robotics In a free workshop using LEGOs, learn how to sketch and build working robots like an engineer. Materials are free and provided. You may also bring your own LEGOs to supplement the supplies on hand for the open build time. Registration is not required. Contact the facilitator, Jeffrey Cates, with any questions: jeff_cates@ncsu.edu, 336-703-2859. Recommended for ages 8-15.

Future programs:
Junk Drawer Robotics: Using household items students explore engineering to build, sketch and prototype like an engineer.

STEAM Art: “Get Started in Art” is a 4-H curriculum that uses the experiential learning model which allows students to create art that leads to conversations about STEM topics such as balance in bridges, aspect ratio, and the scientific method.

Just Grow It: Gardening from seed to salad. This hands-on 4-H curriculum is offered to schools, after-schools, and community centers to provide programming that uses their gardens as outdoor learning centers.
