What's Unique about the Camp?
Robotics Team Skills
At the end of the week, campers get to experience what it is like to be on a robotics team as they work together to build and program a robot to complete First LEGOLeague-type challenges.
Campers create a variety of robots while exploring sensors and mechanisms. Then, they program the movements and display of each robot, so students can see in a tangible way how their code creates action. Code includes loops and if-then conditionals.
Robotics Engineering
Campers learn coding while designing games with Scratch, a visual programming language. Campers code with variables, loops, conditionals, and functions. Scratch allows students to experiment with coding before they move on to text-based languages like Python and JavaScript.
Coding Skills from Game Making
Electronics and Maker Space
Campers explore circuits and electronics while creating a take-home LED project.
This maker project teaches about electronic components and electricity flow, while also inspiring creativity and design.
