Rockin’ Robotics

For Campers Entering 5th – 7th Grade, Fall 2022

At Launch’s most inventive robotics camp, we supply the tools and our campers supply the creativity! Kids move beyond LEGO and build real robotic machines – robots that can assume an infinite number of shapes and forms. Using a programmable Hummingbird Duo Microcontroller as the brain, campers set off and use their imagination to add various motors, sensors, LEDs, wheels, and body parts to their designs. Once they have created a moving horse, or perhaps a speedy racecar (or whatever they imagine!), campers bring their creations to life by using Snap!, Python, or Java to code their Hummingbird Duos so that their robots do whatever they desire. Most exciting, each day begins with a theme or goal and ends with different robotic designs!

Additional Topics Include: Logic, Problem Solving, Electronics, Coding, Motors/Gears/Sensors
