About this camp

In the Design and Build Your Own Robot Camp, campers delve into the fundamentals of circuitry and electronics, exploring breadboards, wiring, batteries, and sensors. They gain an understanding of Arduinos, learning coding languages and logic circuits. Throughout the week, campers refine their coding skills to program their robots in C. A significant portion of the camp involves designing and customizing robot bodies from scratch using G-Code, laser cutters, and 3D printers. By the end of the week, campers assemble their robots, integrating the technical and design skills acquired. The program emphasizes problem-solving, attention to detail, and creativity, culminating in campers taking home their personalized robots and programs to continue their exploration.

What a typical day looks like

A typical day involves hands-on learning in circuitry and electronics, followed by Arduino coding sessions and refining robot instructions in C. Campers also spend time designing and customizing their robot's body using G-Code, laser cutters, and 3D printers.
