Synapse Robotics Club — Build It. Code It. Explore! Presented by Synapse Robotics & AI Build robots. Write code. Solve challenges! What if you could build a robot that sees, grabs, sorts, and moves objects on its own? Or design a super car that detects obstacles and navigates around them like a Mars rover? In Synapse Robotics Club, students turn these ideas into working robots! Students in Grades 6–8 will explore robotics through hands-on projects using VEX IQ and LEGO SPIKE Prime. They’ll build and program autonomous cars, robotic arms, robotic hands, and self-navigating robots. Students Will: 🤖 Build with VEX IQ and LEGO SPIKE Prime 💻 Learn coding — from blocks to real Python 🚗 Build autonomous vehicles that detect obstacles 🦾 Design and program robotic arms and hands 🧠 Solve real-world robotics challenges 🛠️ Test, troubleshoot, and improve their designs 🏆 Optional pathway into the VEX IQ & LEGO Spike Prime Robotics Competition — including this season’s official competition robot No prior robotics or coding experience required! Materials: Robots, laptops, sensors, and materials provided Small groups: Lead instructor plus trained helpers for plenty of hands-on time Students will receive a certificate of completion and participate in a family showcase at the end of the program.
