LEGO Robotics (2 weeks)
Create cars, boats, dragsters, helicopters, space explorers, animals or crawling creatures using LEGO®. Choose a project; design, build, test and play. Work in teams to build a part of the robot and bring together all the various pieces created individually by all team members to complete the robot. Learn the fundamentals of construction; learn about gears, pulleys, motors, battery packs and programs that drive your creations. Learn about Mindstorms NXT LEGO ® microcomputer and sensors and use pre-created programs to make your creations perform predefined tasks and respond to the environment. Make a video of your project and take it home.
- This camp is most suitable for age 7-10 year old explorers interested in construction, engineering and robotics.
- No prior technology or robotics experience is necessary.
- Apart from the core program, the camp day plan is well rounded and includes many warm ups, energizers, team builders and creativity contests during the camp day to win friends and cool prizes.
- Only 6-12 participants per camp.
