Lego robotics has become increasingly popular in recent years. And this is no surprise seeing that for decades, playing with Lego has helped generations of children build their creativity, critical thinking and spatial skills. Given the rapid advancements in modern technology, robotics has become an essential component for a wide variety of industries, ranging from manufacturing to logistics.
A fun, enriching and educational playtime activity, Lego robotics not only develops a child’s cognitive creative potential, but also helps children develop their STEM capabilities.
STEM is the short form for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. An experiential pedagogy which focuses on essential skills such as problem-solving, critical analysis and teamwork. STEM learning has taken children’s education by storm in the last few years.
An important aspect of STEM learning is that it’s fun. What sets STEM learning apart is that it focuses on real-world problems with a practical approach. Due to this combination of fun coupled with hands-on activities along with project-based learning, STEM classes have been popular amongst children, setting it apart from traditional classroom learning. In addition to that, depending on the learning objectives and the child’s age and learning capacity, STEM classes could vary since it doesn’t adopt a one-size-fits-all approach allowing children of different ages to learn at a comfortable pace.
Lego Robotics Inspires Children to get Creative
For starters, Lego Robotics allows children to experiment with different structures, shapes and designs enabling them to think outside the box by coming up with different solutions to solve the same problem.
Learning to work as a Team
Kids are given the chance to build their own Lego robots to handle different scenarios which uplift their creativity and encourage them to work with their peers to achieve a common goal.
Encouraging Innovation
Whether it’s crafting a robotic arm or a miniature lift, Lego robotics is simple to operate, and early exposure to coding sets them up for future opportunities and learning.
Lego Robotics Help Develop your Child’s Confidence
Perhaps the biggest advantage of learning via Lego robotics is that it also contributes to developing a child’s confidence. Being able to formulate innovative creations through lego are small wins that add up over time, and getting their robots to work builds grit and resilience.
To summarise, Lego Robotics has proven to be a fun and engaging medium for children to unlock their cognitive creative potential. STEM Genius conducts Lego Robotics classes for kids from 4 to 5 years old up to 6 to 11 years old. For more information, check out our weekly classes here.
