Little Robot Engineer is a hands-on S.T.E.A.M. camp designed for children ages 4 to 6 that explores the fundamentals of robot building, circuitry, and introductory programming. Circuitry & Electronics: Campers learn the basics of electric currents by assembling Electronic Snap Circuit kits to build working light switches, motorized fans, flying saucers, and musical doorbells. Robotics & Engineering: Young engineers construct and test their own motorized machines, including building a vibrating "LEGO Bot" and designing an "Art Bot" that uses a DC motor to draw its own path across paper. Coding & Logic: Participants are introduced to programming using the KIBO robotics system, where they sequence physical programming blocks to navigate their robot and even code it to perform the "Hokey Pokey" dance. Interactive Games & Creativity: The camp brings robotics concepts to life through active team-building games like Robot Tag, Robot Building Relays, "Charging Races," and creative art challenges like "Roll-A-Robot".
