National Robotics Week

LEGO Education is hosting a national robotics week event in which they release a PDF file each day with instructions on building robotics related creations. The PDF files include lots of educational facts and tips for building. Teachers can easily print out the PDF files, and they're easy to understand for teachers and students alike! This is the perfect opportunity for teachers to introduce their students to robotics, or for students to challenge themselves! Here is some more information from their website:

"National Robotics Week kicks off Saturday, April 9th and ends the following Sunday, April 17th. Throughout this exciting week LEGO® Education will be posting a variety of robotics-related information, as well as, some of our own activities for free! So stay awhile and refer back daily for additional classroom tools and more."
