Welcome to Code2Explore,
where LEGO makes coding come to life in a fun, interactive way.
At Code2Explore, we offer free in-person coding classes for students using LEGO as a creative medium. Our coding lessons are centered around programming a LEGO Spike Prime robot on our city-themed mat. Throughout the lessons, students will gain hands-on experience to effectively program and control a self-driving car.

WHY LEGO?
We believe teaching students how to code with LEGO is important because it allows the students to see their code run in real life, instead of on a computer screen. Learning through LEGO also allows students to learn about possible real-world applications of coding, such as self-driving cars.
