Join us for a week of fun with a variety of robotics and automatons. Learn about the uses of robotics in our world. Spend time playing, building, and experimenting with different robot designs, as you learn what makes a robot work. Use your skills to build your very own working robot (automaton) to take home with you at the end of camp. Join us this summer in our Mad Science world of robotics. Due to the level of difficulty in our building project, all campers must be at least 8 years of age. The following topics will not necessarily follow the order listed below:

Robot Concepts - Roll your way into robot science. Experiment with different robot designs, as you learn what makes a robot work. Invent your own robot designs using recycled materials.

Robot Basics - Discover the world of robots as we investigate the differences between humans and their robotic counterparts. What makes a robot work will be explored during hands-on activities and discussions.

Robot Building - Each day some time will be spent building a real working robot (automaton) that we will finish and take home on Friday.

Red Hot Robots - Hands-on activities will include fun time with our robots. We will play games and experiment with super cool robots such as a soccer robot, line tracker, hyper peppy, and a robotic arm.

Robotic Science - Campers will learn how robots use infrared and other sensors to discover the environment in which they are placed. Working in groups we will explore how robots work and how they can make our lives easier.
