LEGO® Robotics Camps
Dream, design, build and program a LEGO® robot!
About the Course
Dream, design, build and program a LEGO® robot! During this high-voltage week, our mini-engineers will build a robot and learn basic programming skills in a way that’s specially tailored for them.
The week will culminate with a maze challenge that they’ll program their robots to complete. Show them it’s possible to bring their imagination to life with this exciting camp!
During this high-voltage week, students will learn how to make their robots walk, dance, grab, speak and follow their every command. With the help of our knowledgeable LEGO® instructor, they’ll be given a scenario and then supported as they work together to program their robots to complete each challenge. This day camp is the perfect blend of imagination, skill, and team building to keep your young engineer engaged this summer!
LEGO® Camp Dates for Summer 2024 COMING SOON!
Meet Your LEGO® Camp Instructor
Jalyn Morgan,
Georgia Southern University Student
My name is Jalyn Morgan and I will be graduating from Georgia Southern University May, 2024. I will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Middle grades education with concentrations in math and science. Last summer I had the amazing opportunity to instruct the Lego robotics camp and have been invited back to do it again this summer. We had lots of fun last summer while also getting the opportunity to enhance our problem-solving skills, ability to work as a team, and learning programming skills. I look forward to meeting y’all this summer and introducing you to our robot friends!

Emma Britt
Student
Georgia Southern University
My name is Emma Britt. I am currently pursuing a degree in Middle Grades Education at Georgia Southern University with concentrations in Math and Social Studies. I thoroughly enjoy learning about these content areas and I look forward to teaching them. I will be graduating in December of 2023, however I have been blessed to receive an opportunity to be a teacher of record in Appling County for the 2023-2024 school year. I have experiences in middle school classrooms in Bulloch, Effingham, and Candler County. I have spent the past two years learning from the expertise of teachers in this area and growing as a student teacher myself. I am always open to learning and I look forward to my future as an educator.
