LEGO STEM laboratory for schoolchildren at Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University
In June, during the summer camp, classes were held by the «LEGO STEM Laboratory» group of the Children’s and Youth Scientific University «Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic» in cooperation with the Educational Space «Dii» of the Education Department of the Energodar City Council.
The group was led by Volodymyr Osadchy, associate professor of the Department of Electric Drive and Automation of Industrial Installations. During the classes, participants studied the basics of robotics, programming, and engineering in a playful way using modern educational solutions for STEAM learning — innovative LEGO Education SPIKE Prime constructors.
While working with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime constructors, students learned to assemble mechanisms, use sensors, and create their own robotic models. Thanks to the visual programming environment of the SPIKE App, participants easily mastered logic, algorithmic thinking, and creative problem-solving. The group also developed teamwork skills among students, as most projects were carried out in groups. All tasks of the group are dedicated to developing leadership potential and improving skills in solving real engineering problems, which will be useful when choosing a future profession.
The constructor paves the way to modern STEM professions and motivates students to explore the world of technology in a creative and fun way!
More technical creativity ahead together with Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University!
