About This Activity
Description
Ages 7-9
Blast into the future of transportation and build your very own Robot Monorail System! Watch in awe as your RoboRails Robot balances on a single wheel and zips along a track, powered by a super-fast gyroscope and monowheel. You’ll be amazed at how steady your little robot is as it rolls along the track! Get ready to unleash your inner engineer with over 180 durable track pieces. You can follow the 26 awesome layouts in the manual or let your imagination run wild and design your own unique monorail system! With special connectors like the seesaw, splitter, and cross switch, you’ll add cool twists, turns, and challenges to your track that make it one-of-a-kind. Dive into hands-on experiments that explore cool physics concepts like rotational motion, acceleration, and angular momentum as you see gyroscopic forces in action. Are you ready to build the monorail of tomorrow? The adventure starts now!All students should bring a nut-free snack and a water bottle to each session.
If registering for two camps in the same week, students will have a supervised lunch period and must bring a nut-free lunch and water bottle.
