Robotics Week: June 12 - 16

Ever had a chance to build your very own robot? Join us as we learn how robots are designed, built, and programmed. Throughout the week you’ll have the chance to build your very own robot with one of our LEGO robotics kits! You may even find yourselves in a friendly competition with your fellow campers! We have two varieties of kits that will be useful to all ages and experience levels so don’t be shy. This camp is suited for beginners and experienced builders alike!

In Robotics, young students will have their first introduction to robotics through the familiarity of LEGO. Students will be introduced to block coding, and begin to understand how to think like a programmer. While building these basic robots, students will be learning engineering methods, which will serve as the foundation of knowledge for further investigation of robotics. Older students will start with learning, practicing, and reinforcing the engineering method, as well as learning a more sophisticated form of block coding. Students will be presented with both basic guided builds and multiple unguided challenges. Students will develop team building skills working with a partner or in a small group, learn how to best address differing opinions within the design process, and how to adequately test a design.
