L E G O R o b o t i c s
On Saturday, May 2nd, Move Lab will host an interactive LEGO® Robotics workshop. Learn how to control your very own robot using smart code and LEGO. Whether you are 6 or 10 years old: we’ll show you that anyone can learn how to program!
What to expect?
During this workshop, children will build and program their own robot using LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential. Working in pairs, they will discover how motors, sensors, and code come together to bring a robot to life. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, the duos will take on a technical mission inspired by the Smart City theme. It will be a morning or afternoon filled with creativity, teamwork, and, above all, lots of hands-on fun.
Information workshop
Program & Group Sessions
We work with two different age groups to ensure every child can participate at their own level:
Time: 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
- Ages: 6 - 7 years
- The Explorers: Learn the basics of motors and movement in a playful way using visual icon-based coding blocks.
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
- Ages: 8 - 10 years
- The Engineers: Work with sensors and logic, and take the next step by writing your first real text-based codes.
Duo Builder Ticket
Teamwork is essential in the world of technology. That’s why we work with Duo Tickets. Together with a friend, brother, or sister, you will work as a team at one robotics station. A Duo Ticket costs €49.50 and provides access for two children. You may also choose to work on a robot individually; in this case, the ticket price remains €49.50.
What’s Included
- 90 minutes of hands-on experience with the LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential robotics set.
- An official Certificate of Participation.
Drop-off & Pick-up
Please arrive 5–10 minutes before the start of the workshop. Parents and guardians are not required to stay during the session, though you are more than welcome to do so. We kindly ask parents to return 10 minutes before the workshop ends for the final wrap-up.
About Bricks & Robots
This introductory workshop is hosted by our partner: Bricks & Robots, specialists in providing high-quality robotics lessons using LEGO Spike sets.
Why robotics? The courses offered by Bricks & Robots help children think like inventors. They learn to build, program, think creatively, and solve problems—skills they will carry with them for a lifetime. By building and programming their own robots, they develop not only digital skills but also logical thinking, collaboration, and perseverance. This specific session focuses on mobility and the smart city, perfectly aligning with our Move Lab kids' expo.
FAQ
-
The workshop will primarily be conducted in Dutch. Does your child speak only English? Please send us a message at [email protected]. We will then check if we can facilitate English-speaking guidance for your child during the session.
-
No, there are no specific requirements. Our courses are designed for children of all levels, whether they are new to robotics and coding or already experienced.
-
We work exclusively with high-quality, original LEGO® SPIKE™ robotics kits and Apple iPads for programming. All necessary materials are provided by us, you do not need to bring anything to class.
-
In our course, children learn to program with visual blocks, such as icons and icons, which is ideal for beginners. In more advanced classes, we move to word-based visual programming, similar to Scratch. These methods help kids understand the basics of programming in a playful way, without having to read or write complicated code.
-
Our advice is to wait a while and try the course when your child is six years old or almost six. Any doubts or questions? Reach out to: [email protected]
-
Yes of course! However, it is not obliged. Feel free to grab a coffee or quick lunch at Wils Bakery Café or visit Ride Out our ultimate Bike Store.
