Campers gain hands-on experience designing, building, and programming robots in a college environment, fostering critical STEM skills with support from K-12 licensed teachers and college student counselors.
UNC Charlotte's "Camps on Campus - STEM with Robotics" offers middle schoolers (rising grades 5-8) a hands-on exploration of robotics and engineering in a university setting. Campers engage in designing, building, and programming robots using LEGO Education SPIKE kits. The curriculum emphasizes core engineering and coding concepts through guided activities, creative challenges, and ample build time. Students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills as they move from imagination to invention, testing ideas, and using code to control robot movement and behavior. The camp aims to spark curiosity and build confidence in STEM, providing a supportive environment for future engineers to explore their passions and discover new interests in technology.
A typical day involves instructional time from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with campers engaging in hands-on activities, creative challenges, and building and programming robots.
This camp is ideal for middle school students (rising grades 5-8) who enjoy building, coding, or solving challenges and are curious about how robots move, think, and work.
