WeDo/SuGO Workshops

STEMaction is offering a full fun day of robotics for youth ages 7 to 11. In this workshop you will build with two different LEGO kits:

1. LEGO Education WeDo Robotics
For half of the day your child will work with one partner and a WeDo kit to build and program models featuring working motors and sensors.

2. SuGO bots based on LEGO NXT Mindstorms
For the other half of the day teams of two will build SuGO Battle Bots and compete in a SuGO tournament. What is SuGO? It combines the fun of NXT Mindstorms with the sport of Sumo wrestling! After the bots are built it is time to hit the competition ring for a thrilling and fun tournament. For more details on SuGO see www.sugobot.com

No previous building experience is necessary. These are beginner SuGO bots which use just two motors. The SuGO bots for older youth are more complex with three motors.
