Goal

Robotics is an amalgamation of electronics & software programming to build robots. With the advent of 3D printing, we can design & print unique parts for our robots. Children will learn & understand micro:bit, write programs for it, and control electronics hardware. In this process they’ll also learn basics of 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) modeling, to make interesting parts for their robot.

Camp Dates & Hours

The camps are run weeklong. 6 spots per camp.

  • July 12 - 16, 2021 - 9:00am - 12:00pm
  • July 26 - 30, 2021 - 9:00am - 12:00pm
  • August 9 - 13, 2021 - 9:00am - 12:00pm

What to Expect

Hardware

Every child will get a micro:bit. Your child will bring the micro:bit to every class. The micro:bit is a handheld, programmable micro-computer that can be used for all sorts of cool creations, from robots to musical instruments. You can read more about the micro:bit. At the end of our program the micro:bit is yours to keep and explore.

Bring With You

  • Bring your own laptop (Mac, Windows or Chromebook), with WiFi capability, internet connection will be provided.
  • Well versed with using the laptop keyboard and mouse without assistance.
  • Have active regular USB ports on the laptop. New MacBooks with USB-C only will need dongles.

Tablets, iPads of any kinds are NOT a good replacement. Please have Google Chrome installed on the laptop for familiarity across all laptops. Windows, MacOS and Chromebook are welcome.

Parental Controls

If you have parental controls enabled on the laptop and have to approve websites before you let kids them access it, please let us know. We can provide a list of websites you’ll need to approve as part of this program.

Basic Responsibility

Every child is expected to be responsible for their own devices in the class. They are expected to be respectable of other children’s devices. Parents will be notified for any child damaging property belonging to others, or consistently causing disruptions in class. Inaction to stop such behavior after two warnings, may result in discontinuation.
