Concepts of simple machines such as gears, pulleys, levers, and wheels are introduced through a series of activity-card LEGO® building projects. With the use of motors and electrical controls, the models come alive right before their eyes!

LEGO® ROBOTICS (ENGINEERING & CODING) AFTERNOON ONLY
LEGO® BATTLE BOTS | WEEK 1 (1 pm – 3 pm) | AGES 7 – 12
Campers learn to design and build their own motorized battle robots. Using principles of simple and complex machines, gearing, and mechanical advantage, students will try to flip, push, or smash their opponent’s battle robot. Students learn the use of mechanical lifts, drills, ramps, and more to disable or overcome other bots. Students will build and program LEGO® Mindstorms robots to compete in the BattleBot championship! The robots will battle “to the death”, and the designers of the “last robot standing” for each round will be the winners.
LEGO® SPYBOTICS | WEEK 2 (1 pm – 3 pm) | AGES 7 – 12
For our advancing robot engineers join the elite group of recruits to become a spy-in-training. Agents in training will receive their super-secret mission during each camp and then learn to build and code a robot that will have to move through obstacles to retrieve top-secret documents. They will be challenged to incorporate technology concepts, engineering principles, and programming while using the LEGO© ® Mindstorms NXT robotics & EV3 Construction Kits Campers will learn how to break or make codes, learn coding, surveillance techniques, critical thinking, and solve logic puzzles. Each camp has new missions!
