Learning Fun 101′s Summer Camps

Want your child to do something unique and absolutely cool this summer? How about having them learn how to build and design Robots using the LEGOs?  Students will learn basic robotic engineering, programming principals, and the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) concepts while having FUN!Your child’s natural curiosity and ingenuity will help them envision possibilities and develop innovative solutions to difficult technology problems. Learning Fun 101 will challenge your student with authentic, hands-on explorations and then provide support as they engage in:

Questioning • Exploring • Imagining • Designing • Constructing • Inventing • Testing • Observing • Learning • Failing (and trying again)

No prior Lego experience is required. Students will be taught everything they need to know during our camps. Students will work in teams of two/three —friends are welcome to sign up together and can be partners.

Welcome to Learning Fun 101′s Newsletter!
Learning Fun 101 is excited to launch its first newsletter. This is something that we have wanted to do for a long time and our first issue is dedicated to connecting families in the Austin and surrounding areas to our website. Our goal and purpose is to teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math through hands on creative building and programming and connect you to a camp/class that will help your student with critical thinking and creative problem solving as they build LEGO robots, simple machines and LEGO projects.We plan to have a month building challenge at our Creation Station, a quick LEGO Lesson and a list of our current activities.We hope you had a great 4th of July and will enjoy our newsletter
