This will enable their models to perform different actions, such as moving, making sounds, or responding to their surroundings.  Learn: The LEGO WeDo 2.0 Summer Camp provides a dynamic learning environment. Children will explore STEM principles, including gears, levers, pulleys, and sensors, while actively engaging in problem-solving, critical thinking, and logical reasoning.
