Course Overview

Using LEGO Education Computer Science & AI resources as a teaching platform, participants develop essential skills in computational thinking, algorithm design, coding, problem-solving and systems engineering. Through structured activities and practical challenges, they explore how computers process information and how intelligent systems interact with the world.

What You Will Explore

• Computer science and computational thinking
• Algorithms, programming, testing and debugging
• Computer systems, sensors and data
• Artificial intelligence, robotics and automation
• Engineering design and practical project development

Learning Outcomes

Participants develop a foundation in computer science, understand programming concepts, gain practical coding experience and explore how hardware, software, sensors and data work together. Projects strengthen logical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and confidence in presenting technology-based work.

Teaching Approach

Structured learning objectives are combined with practical application. Participants investigate, experiment, test ideas and develop their own solutions. Regular attendance is recommended because sessions build on previous learning.
