Using Lego Mindstormers NXT Robots, campers will learn fundamental engineering, and related problem-solving techniques through the completion of various robotic challenges. Campers will also explore and discuss the abilities of their robots and its included sensors.
Campers will be tasked with the following: breaking down challenges, designing robots, collaborating, planning, and creating robotics programs in small and large groups, as well as analyzing how other robots work.
Through fun and interesting challenges, campers will learn how to think like an engineer, and come up with solutions to problems.
Repeating campers are welcome, as projects change in each camp session.
