The Wire

Mouse and Vision Education are partnering to offer NYC Mouse Squad Coordinators an after-school professional development workshop on Robotics. This is for educators only (sorry students! we have other events just for you coming soon!)  This beginner’s workshop will provide an introduction to the LEGO® Mindstorms® NXT Kit and programming environment. Participants will work in groups to build a vehicle robot and program basic challenges incorporating motors, sensors, and sound. Participants will see sample student projects and get and overview of what is needed to start an in-school or after-school robotics program.

When: December 11th, 4PM-6PM
Where: Macaulay Honors College @ CUNY

Our workshops focus on creative project development in technologies such as robotics, animation and game design, web design and development, digital video, and digital audio. Vision programs are designed to engage students in all stages of the design process and encourage the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
