(Public) Intro to Engineering with LEGO Robotics at Brambleton Library in Brambleton, VA

Ignite your child’s love for STEM with the Intro to Engineering with LEGO Robotics program!

Perfect for young innovators stepping into the world of robotics, this engaging program uses the power of LEGO to introduce essential engineering and coding concepts in a playful, hands-on way. Students will not only build and code — they'll think like real engineers and programmers, laying a strong foundation for future success in competitive robotics and STEM learning.

Whether your child is a LEGO enthusiast or a budding problem-solver, this program is the perfect gateway into the exciting world of STEM.

What to Expect:

🔧 Creative Building Challenges
Children will tackle age-appropriate engineering tasks using LEGO elements to design, test, and improve their own creations. Along the way, they’ll explore core ideas like stability, structure, and simple machines, all while strengthening their spatial reasoning and design thinking.

💡 Introduction to Coding & Logical Thinking
Using an intuitive, drag-and-drop coding platform, students will learn how to build basic programs that control their LEGO robots. They’ll explore key concepts such as sequencing (the order of commands), loops (repeating actions), and conditional logic (if/then thinking). These skills foster critical thinking and lay the groundwork for future computer science learning.

🧠 Foundational Skills in Problem Solving
Each activity is structured to help kids understand cause and effect as they predict outcomes, test ideas, and troubleshoot errors — essential parts of both engineering and coding. By iterating on their designs and code, they begin to grasp logical reasoning and develop persistence.

🤝 Collaboration & Teamwork
Kids will work in pairs or small teams to brainstorm, build, and celebrate each other's ideas, encouraging communication and cooperative learning. These social-emotional skills are just as valuable as the technical ones and foster a positive attitude toward STEM learning.

🚀 Pathway to Competition
This program prepares young learners for the next step — whether that’s joining a competitive robotics team or diving into more advanced engineering and coding courses. They’ll finish the program with increased confidence, creativity, and curiosity.

Join us for Intro to Engineering with LEGO Robotics and watch your child discover how fun and empowering STEM can be — one brick and one line of code at a time!
