Day Camp

In today’s world, almost everything we see is either a robot or was made by one! In Exploring Robotics, students will use engineering principles to design their own multi-function robots. Students will learn how to use circuitry to light up LEDs, build a truck robot that can navigate a maze, and code a line-following robot. In this project-based camp, students will get to experience first-hand how engineers solve real-world problems. By the end of the course, each student will have experience with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering principles. This camp is suitable for ages 9-11.

By the end of this camp, students will be able to:

  • Design and build robots to solve complex problems
  • Learn how to approach complex problems using the engineering process
  • Use visual and text-based coding to design programs for robots

This camp runs Monday - Friday from 9am - 3:30pm. For extended hours, before-care (8am-9am) and after-care (3:30pm-6pm) may be purchased at additional cost.
