Summer Lego Mindstorms program was a great disappointment. My rising 3rd grader took a class in the middle of the summer 2022. The first day, the battery of my daughter's robot "was not charged", and she ended up playing air hockey all day. She went in with familiarity of programming in scratch, other visual based programming, and significant background in OSMO coding. Throughout the whole week, she made only one program to make the robot go forward for 60 seconds. The final day, there was some robot fighting as the culminating event, which seemed to mean that the kids aim the robots at each other and say go straight. I was talking to my daughter about the week and reading her certificate. I noticed that the "recommendation section" is a paragraph about another kid (a boy named Zachary) instead of my child.
All and all, would never go back. The instructors seemed like fine kids, and I cannot say anything was untoward. Just a disappointment. read more
