About This Activity
Description
Investigate robotic fundamentals with curious robots, learn about the history and current field of robotics, explore design potential by using robots that have big personalities, and build ingenious robots to take home. We will explore circuits, electricity, sensors, gears, and advanced robotic applications. Learn about the mechanical aspects of robots with gears, gear ratios, and torque. Pick up the basics of electricity by snapping together circuits to make a remote-control rover robot. Experiment with sound sensing robots, line-tracking robots, industrial robots, app-controlled performance bots, robotic pets, the world's smartest and smallest robot, and so much more! Our future roboticist rounds out the week getting more in-depth experience programming robots as they cycle through programming stations that will enrich their understanding of programming. *Important Notes: This camp is different from other Mad Science Robotics programs. We do not build with Lego Robotics kits, but instead use some of the most innovative educational robotics kits to teach robot basics, circuity, programming, and much more in an age-appropriate and fun way! Our Robotics teaching edge comes from 12 years of facilitating this topic and a professional R & D team that stays up to date on this ever changing topic.Grades
