Nonprofit organization Peace21 is hosting a “Lego Robotics Camp” for Korean children in Los Angeles, Calif. to help teach youth about engineering and software programming

The camp began on June 29, but still takes place every week at the Abundant Life Korean Church at 3020 Wilshire Blvd., on Monday and Wednesday from 7-9 p.m. The program is for students from the fifth to seventh grade.

At the camp, Professor Lee Dong-cheol hopes to inspire children and foster new dreams with robots and programming.

“In the 21st century, robots have entered our life,” Peace21 representative Yoon Eun-young said. “From vacuum cleaners to driverless cars or robot-assisted surgery, robots have all kinds of forms. I really hope that children will be inspired while making Lego robots, and imagine a new future.”

The “Lego Robotics Camp” uses LEGO EV3 Mindstorm products which were manufactured for educational purposes.

Peace21 is also hosting a film camp for students between sixth and eighth grade, which is taking place every Wednesday, until July 22.
