Learning Outcomes:

  • Critical thinking and problem solving
  • Building creative robotics design
  • Advanced techniques in programming
  • Line-tracers, multiple sensors and multi tasking

This camp is designed for students ready to move beyond LEGO Mindstorms and explore advanced robotics concepts. Participants will work with a Bluetooth-enabled robot equipped with a 2.4GHz transmitter, ultrasonic transceiver module, dual light-level detector for line tracing, microcontroller, and Arduino boot loader—preloaded and ready to use. Students will tackle increasingly challenging obstacle courses and missions while learning new programming techniques through an intuitive drag-and-drop coding system. They will experiment with microcontrollers, sensors, and advanced robotics behaviors in a fun, hands-on environment. At the end of the week, students will take their robot home to continue learning and innovating. Co-sponsored with Future Technology Education.
