Robotics Camp
Put your skills to the test.
Robotics Camp introduces students to the basics of programming, circuitry, and robotics using the Arduino platform. In addition to learning the fundamentals of electronics, circuit design, electrical components, and programming, students will utilize real-life problem-solving skills to create solutions to design challenges.
Each student will have their own Arduino kit to work on as they learn firsthand the skills needed to understand and create circuits while programming them to complete tasks. The camp is set up for every student to be on their own educational journey at the speed necessary for them to learn and be successful. At the conclusion of the camp, students will be able to take their kit with them and continue learning from online lessons and tutorials.
