Engineering with LEGO: Simple Machines & Motorized Creations

Get ready for a day of hands-on engineering fun! In this interactive workshop, you’ll team up with other students to explore the fundamentals of engineering using LEGO Education building materials. You’ll start by learning about simple machines, including pulleys, levers, gears, and more, as you discover how these essential components make work easier. As you build your understanding, you’ll experiment with combining multiple simple machines to create compound machines, deepening your knowledge of the relationship between work, force, and distance. As the day progresses, you’ll take your designs to the next level by incorporating motors and robotics, transforming simple machines into moving, mechanized creations. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the chance to put your new skills to the test by designing and building your own unique powered machine. Spend the day in an exciting engineering adventure where your creativity and problem-solving skills take center stage!
