With this self-led program you can use one or all of these kits. We have 4 different kits, each of which can be used by 4 to 8 people: Snap Circuit Extreme kits have over 750 projects for you to explore. Turing Tumble is a new type of game where players (ages 8+) build mechanical computers powered by marbles to solve logic puzzles. It's fun, addicting, easy-to-learn, and while you're playing, you discover how computers "think". Our WeDo LEGO Robotics Construction kits are so much fun. Each kit has 12 possible projects you can build. EV3 Mindstorm Robotics, enjoy the endless building and programming possibilities. Visit often to explore all of the possibilities. Registration is not required, just drop in and enjoy.
