They will learn about the concepts of pulleys, levers, wheels and axles, and gears and bring their projects to life using battery-operated motors. Through the building of realistic motorized models, students will develop an understanding of mechanical principles. They will explore, investigate, and solve problems in a fun group environment. 2 children per LEGO® kit.
