21st Century Robotics: Better, Stronger, Faster

For Students Entering Grades 1st To 3rd Fall 2017

R2D2, WALL-E, The Six Million Dollar Man… We all remember those futuristic machines! Seemingly unrealistic at the time, robotics has finally come of age in the 21st century. From self-driving cars to robotic roller coasters, campers learn about sophisticated machines that are tackling complex tasks – with amazing speed and precision. At Launch camp kids study the fundamentals of engineering and technology necessary to create these amazing robots, and then construct simplified models of their own to reinforce the principles learned. From projects such as Car Bots and DoddleBots to programmable LEGO WeDo machines, kids at camp are immersed in a world of industrial and service robots.

NOTE: Full-day Launch camps engage children mentally as well as physically. Half of each day is spent working on theme based projects and challenges. The other half of each day is spent participating in a combination of high energy games and STEM exploration activities. Campers go outdoors and should come with sneakers and sunscreen pre-applied. For additional information please refer to the Sample Camp Day schedule found on the Summer Camps page of this website.
