The camp offers a hands-on introduction to robotics and engineering, utilizing LEGO® Education SPIKE™ kits and guided by UNC Charlotte engineering experts in a university setting.
Cool School's LEGO Robotics camp introduces young innovators to the exciting world of robotics through hands-on activities. Campers will design and build robots using LEGO® bricks, motors, and sensors, and then use a kid-friendly coding interface to program their creations. They will experiment with different designs to improve speed, accuracy, and performance, and complete challenges such as navigating obstacle courses or moving objects. The curriculum focuses on core principles of robot design, assembly, and control, and explores how sensors help robots react to their environment. This camp fosters problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork in a fun and supportive campus setting. Campers will gain a foundational understanding of engineering concepts and the design process, culminating in a showcase where they can demonstrate their built and programmed robots.
A typical day involves designing and building robots with LEGO® Education components, programming their movements and actions using a kid-friendly interface, and testing their creations through various challenges.
This camp is ideal for elementary-aged students (rising grades 1-4) who enjoy LEGO®, building, or technology and are curious about how robots work.
