​

Robotics - Graphical

Introductory camp for students new to robotics.  Students will learn the fundamentals of the EV3 robotic platform.  This includes general design and building techniques as well as introducing the EV3 graphical programming language.  While learning how to program their robots, students will apply their new understanding to challenges of increasing difficulty.  Friendly robot competitions will include driving courses, maze navigation, sumo bots and others.                                                              (Grades 3 - 5)
​

Python 

A camp for students to learn to code.  General computer programming techniques will be investigated as the students use the popular programming languages Python to create their first programs.  Starting small, students will become familiar with the programming environment and add complexity to their programs throughout the week.  Students will be placed in appropriate groups based on their experience level.                                                                                                                                              Python (Grades 4 - 8)
​

Micropython 

This advanced camp requires previous knowledge of both EV3 robots and MicroPython.  Students will work on challenging robot projects including mecanum wheels, robot arms and delta robots.  Project designs will be guided by past designs and discussions that students will try to reproduce in the EV3 environment.   This is a very challenging camp  that will push students in both mechanical design and programming skill.   Admittance to this group requires instructor approval.                   (Grades 5 - 9)                        
​

FLL Focus

In preparation for the upcoming FLL season, this camp will focus entirely on the FLL robot game.  Working as a team, the students will work on all aspects of the robot game including: robot, jig & attachment design, game strategy, programming design, and competition tips.  Past competition robots will be reviewed and several different robot designs will be built.  An overall game strategy will be developed by the team and then used on one of the previous FLL competition game sets.             (Grades 4 - 8)
