Campers get to take home the robots they build, extending the learning and fun beyond the camp week.
The Junior Robot Engineer camp offers an engaging introduction to robotics for elementary-aged children. Campers will delve into the fundamentals of how machines work by exploring the six simple machines using K'NEX. They will gain practical experience in building and programming various robots, including a "Mars-like" RC Snap Rover capable of performing numerous experiments and activities. The curriculum also covers basic concepts of electricity, circuits, and power sources. Additionally, campers will have the opportunity to construct fun robots like an Artbot and Bristlebot, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. A key takeaway from the camp is that participants get to keep the robots they build, allowing for continued learning and play at home.
A typical day includes general check-in, an all-camp science demonstration, and multiple S.T.E.A.M. rotations with snack breaks and an outdoor component for team and skill building.
This camp is ideal for young engineers aged 7-9 who are curious about how machines work and eager to build and program their own robots.
