A focus on electrical concepts will be emphasized through circuit design, build and testing. Students will be introduced to important engineering tools needed in the robot building process. In this class, each child will build and test an electrical robot that does not need to be programmed. Students will then compete on the final day with the robot they each built.

In this third and fourth level summer camp, students will learn fundamentals about mechanical engineering and software engineering concepts related to robotics. Your child will learn about important mechanical concepts related to motors, gears and torque. Students will be shown the importance and application of math in robotics. Software concepts the student will learn about are programming a robot, reading input from a sensor, controlling outputs from a microcontroller, such as indicators and motors. Each student will learn to build a sensor, build a robot and program it to accomplish a task.
The students will learn to program a robot as it is done at the collegiate level through our custom designed exercises that are hands-on and at the same time give them a thorough understanding of what they are building and how it works. Certificates will be presented on final day, following the robot competition.
