Learning is an intuitive process. Research shows that children are motivated to learn when they are rewarded emotionally and challenged sufficiently. When children actively construct things in the physical world, it helps them build new knowledge in their minds.

Students in this class will join together as a single team for the 2009 First Lego League Challenge. The team, containing up to 10 students, will work together building and programming a robot using NXT Mindstorms Robotics Kit and software. During the Fall Session students will build, program, and refine autonomous robots to complete challenging missions and overcome obstacles, in preparation for the 2009/2010 competition season.

During the LEGO competition season, students create ideas and learn how to approach and manage a challenging project to completion. This hands-on, brain exercising class develops life long skills in a fun environment.

  • "Really empowering for my daughter"

    Review of Portland Wiz Kids, April 08, 2009

    My daughter participated in a "Gateway to Engineering for Girls" class and came home with the greatest collection of fun, GIRLY stuff that she built in class, from a light-up necklace, to a bouncing stuffed animal. The girls developed a great understanding of how everything worked and could explain it very clearly. Sensing no limits, she later went on to participate on a couple of fun and successful middle school teams (one of them through Portland Wiz Kids), in engineering-related competitions, including FIRST Lego League and the Sally Ride Science Foundation's Inventor's Toy Challenge. What a great introduction to technology and engineering.

  • "Extremely Knowledgeable, Talented and Eye Opening!"

    Review of Portland Wiz Kids, April 08, 2009

    Diana Laboy-Rush is extremely knowledgeable and incredibly talented when it comes to teaching technology. She also has a keen ability to open the minds of her students to the exciting world of becoming inventors, innovators and engineers! I had the opportunity to watch Diana in action as she coached a team of students which included my son on their march to take the second highest award given at 2008 Sally Ride Science Toy Challenge Competition which had thousands of teams competing. This was a proud accomplishment for my son which he will forever remember and for which I will always be grateful for!
