Amusement Park Adventure
Everyone loves a scary amusement park ride! Now you can build four different rides and program them to move! This beginner robotics program enables students to learn to build and program amusement park robotics. You will use LEGO bricks, computer hardware and simple but powerful computer software to design, construct and program amusement park rides. Use bricks, sensors, motors and leads to build one of four models – a ghost train, a bumper car, a merry-go-round or a tour bus.
