Campers build and take home multiple robots, including a "Mars-like" RC Snap Rover, an Artbot, and a Bristlebot, for continued engagement after the camp.
In the Junior Robot Engineer camp, young engineers aged 7-9 are introduced to the exciting world of robotics through hands-on activities. Campers will explore fundamental robotics and engineering concepts by building and programming various robots to perform specific tasks. They will learn about the six simple machines and how they are integrated into more complex mechanisms using K'nex. The curriculum also covers electricity, circuits, and power sources as campers construct a "Mars-like" RC Snap Rover, capable of performing 23 experiments and activities. Additionally, they will build Artbots and Bristlebots. A key outcome of the camp is that participants get to take home the robots they build, allowing for continued learning and fun after the camp concludes.
A typical day includes general check-in, an all-camp science demonstration, multiple S.T.E.A.M rotations, snack breaks, lunch/recess, and outdoor team and skill-building activities.
This camp is ideal for elementary-aged children (7-9) who are curious about how things work and enjoy hands-on building and problem-solving.
