Robotics Camp

Overview:

Working in pairs and small teams students will learn about topics such as artificial intelligence, programming and engineering as they construct robots with the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Robotics kit. During the week you will learn how to design, build, program and control your robots while putting them through a series of design challenges. At the end of the week you’ll get to take the ultimate challenge of competing in a sumo wrestling match!

 

Time: Our camps run from  9:00 to 3:00, Monday - Friday.  Instructors will be in the lab at 8:00 for early drop off and will stay until 4:00 for late pickup. The early drop off and late pick up is intended for work time on Graphic Design. Students will stay in the lab during this time until parents pick up the student.

Snacks/Lunch:

We will take a lunch break at 11:30 am for about an hour as well as an afternoon break.  We will eat in a classroom area or outside if the weather is nice. No lunch service is available so students should pack their own lunches and snacks.

What to Bring:

Folder, paper, & pencil … and some creative energy and an enthusiastic attitude!
