Denise Zarruk is the director of El Mundo de Mozart, a specialized children's school where they do not stop making proposals for families. One of the important novelties of 2014 in MozartKids are the special robotics workshops and that we are delighted to present in Peques and Más. In addition to MozartKids, they also have camps and activities throughout the year for those days without school in which they do not know what to do, as well as workshops, talks and special events for parents, which are You can see on their full page on the Internet.
The robotics course for children is called Learn to create and program amazing robots using the Lego Mindstorms kit. The workshop is taught in Madrid for children aged 7 to 12 years. There are several schedules depending on the group although they are always in Saturday. So those of 7 to 10 years they have to attend from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and those from 11 to 12 years from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The price for the workshop is 35 euros although you can sign up for all the days with a special bonus of 150 euros for five sessions. It is a specialized course to learn how to use Lego Mindstorms and a computer to build robots, robotic animals, vehicles and much more. Everything that is needed is already included in the kit to be used, including a microcomputer, motors, sensors and a variety of Lego parts with which to assemble our robot idea.
In addition to learning to build the robot you can also learn to program it with a simple graphic language, based on icons, that will lay the foundations of knowledge necessary to understand concepts related to robotics and physics.
The challenge is to work with practical examples to understand the three steps necessary to acquire knowledge: the assembly of the robot, the creation of the program and the sending of the program to the brain of our robot to make it come alive.
The company Harcoconut, which is the one that teaches the Courses, uses practical examples, chooses models of robots that are entertaining in their assembly and that offer didactic elements related to robotics to learn to handle the sensors, concepts of physics and programming. Hardcoconut It is a young training company focused on the development and dissemination of technology among audiences of all ages. Professionals specialized in the use of technology and in the management of courses also work for children.
We wish them good luck and congratulations to Mozart Kids for choosing a theme, programming and robotics, which is getting attention among families. And is that technology is fully integrated into our lives and it is a good idea to know how machines work since our children are young.
