Lego Camp Monday: Cars and buildings

On the first day they built Cars and each made a building to park at. They connected all of the building/roads to make a city.

Lego Camp Tuesday: Helicopters & Tower

Today they built helicopters and it was the first day that they worked with the battery/remotes. They also built a tower that was taller then them. This class wasn't just building, they learned important engineering principles like overlapping.

Thursday's Base

Lego Camp Friday: Robots and Towns

On the last day they made Robots. The second photo Ben told me was a robot exercise area. The last one is of the end of the class where everyone would smash their creations and then pick up all of the Lego's and put them into containers.

Lego Camp: Day 1 Racer Cars

Ben took a week long Lego camp this week. They started out with instruction of basic engineering principles aplied to Legos and then they worked on one or two projects with the instructors walking around giving help. Then they tested their projects out. For the first day they built race cars and raced them Pinewood Dirby style.

They also built a city with their own houe or building.

All of the Legos were devided into their own boxes and compartments and at the end of each day they had to take apart their creations and put away all the bricks into their proper places.

Since Nathan was to young for this class, we worked on a few sets at home and had our own Lego Camp.

Lego Camp: Day 2 Motorized Cars

They started using motors for their cars today for the first time and every project afterwards involved motors.

There was a special box just with Figures. They could pick a different one each day to pilot whatever they made.

During the second half of the class they built a bridge that was strong enough to literally walk across.

Lego Camp: Day 3 Airplanes

They built airplanes, then they all built segments which when stacked on top of each other formed a tower that was taller then the tallest adult there.

Lego Camp: Day 4 Robots

For this days project they were tought how to make simple R2-D2 robots that actually walk.

Lego Camp: Day 5 Monorail

This did Monorails this class, unfortunatly I was a little late so Ben was partway into clean-up and had his part taken apart. Ben really loved Lego Camp.
