Exploring Engineering & Robotics

In today’s world, almost everything we see is either a robot or was made by one! In Exploring Engineering and 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 course will enable them to think critically to decompose problems and solve everyday challenges!

What you'll learn:

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

Projects: 

• Designing a circuit to turn on LEDs
• Building a maze-navigating robot
• Building a romote-controlled robot
• Writing a program that uses sensors
• Navigating a labyrinth using a robot and sensors
• Designing a multi-function robot

Prerequisite:

This camp requires familiarity with visual programming basics.

Note: Bring your own lunch.
