Course Information
Indulge a child’s curiosity with this fun, interactive course. Parents/carers will work with their children to use digital resources and create programmable models that move, make sounds and change colours! Use Lego kits to encourage your child to learn skills such as creativity, problem solving and dexterity and spend time together in a supported environment. The course enables learners to build confidence with technical equipment and begin a coding journey to encourage your future engineers!

This course is delivered over 1 session for 2 – 2.5 hours
This is a practical and interactive course that is meant to be lots of fun whilst learning and developing important skills. It is designed to ignite a curiosity and confidence in children that will lead them to explore their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) skills further. Learning through play has been widely recognised as an effective way of developing skills. As part of the activities – children will also be developing their maths, communication and teamwork skills. The course also allows a safe and organised environment for parents/carers to spend quality time “playing” with their children and taking key lessons away about working together to encourage healthier relationships.

By the end of the course, parents/carers will be able to:
- Support the child in choosing & identifying correct pieces to match the instructions and build the robot
- State a definition for coding
- Define what the acronym STEM is and how this links to Lego Robotics
- Identify further learning opportunities and aspirations
This course is delivered face to face, usually in a local school or suitable venue – please check details before enrolling. The teacher will support and guide the learners through the session so they are able to complete the learning activities.

Learning activities include:
- Listening carefully to safety instructions and teacher guidance
- Participation in practical activities 
- Parents/carers working alongside their children during practical activities
- Links to recommended websites and apps will be given to aid independent learning

You will be using advanced Lego sets and tablets that will provide simple instructions to build complex robots. Lancashire Adult Learning will provide all of the resources you will need.
This course can be accessed by all parents and carers with children in primary schools. The course will require learners to be able to follow verbal and written instructions in English at Entry Level 3 and above. Learners will be required to complete a course enrolment form before proceeding with the course which they can either do online before the course if the venue have a link, or on the day of the course with the teacher.

Our courses often provide an opportunity for parents and carers to step back into education and have a second chance at a career or further learning.

Following completion of this course the following progression options are available in our STEM curriculum:
· Have a go with Lego (KS1/Reception)
· Have a go with Engineering
· Lego Challenge
· Engineering Challenge

Your teacher will be able to give you more information about these courses that can run in your school/local venue.
