This program is perfect for students who enjoy building with Lego Technic elements, motors, and sensors, providing a fun and hands-on way to learn about engineering, coding, and robotics. It encourages creativity by allowing participants to change designs and incorporare their own unique solutions.

Each student will receive a Lego Mindstorms kit with over 500 pieces, which they can use to create projects such as a basketball-shooting robot, a lifting gripper, a humanoid robot, or any other design of their choice. They will program their creations using the block-based programming app, enabling the robots to move and respond to their environment through sensors.

This program offers a challenging and stimulating environment where students will develop advanced building skills, and problem-solving abilities. It is suitable for beginners who are new to robotics but versatile enough to challenge advanced users, fostering critical thinking and creativity along the way.

WHEN: Thursdays from 4:10 to 5:10 pm

In this coding and AI camp, students will explore Scratch, a beginner-friendly block-based programming language, to design and develop interactive stories, games, and animations. They will incorporate machine learning models trained using Teachable Machine, allowing them to bring AI-powered interactions into their Scratch creations. For example, they will develop a gesture-controlled project, where Scratch recognizes different hand gestures and responds by moving a character accordingly—such as raising a hand to make the character jump or waving to make it run. Additionally, they will experiment with hand-drawn sketches, enabling their projects to detect drawings and react based on user input.

By the end of the camp, kids will have a strong grasp of Scratch block programming concepts while applying the power of AI-driven recognition of text, images, and numbers. This experience will not only enhance their problem-solving and computational thinking skills but also promote creativity, innovation, and an understanding of computer science concepts.

WHEN: Mondays from 5:20 to 6:20

This program is designed to immerse students in science, engineering, robotics, and coding. Participants will program autonomous robots and engage in daily challenges that stimulate their creativity and technical abilities.

Students will design and program robotic arms to complete tasks such as collecting, transporting, lifting, and depositing objects in various locations. They will also learn to utilize sensors for color detection, line following, and maze navigation while avoiding obstacles. This program is recommended for students who have completed Lego Robotics Level I but is also suitable for first-time participants with prior robotics experience.

This hands-on experience not only strengthens critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also reinforces theoretical STEM concepts through practical applications, providing a solid introduction to advanced coding and engineering principles.

Furthermore, this program serves as a foundational prerequisite for students aspiring to join First Lego League Robotics Teams, equipping them with the skills needed for competitive robotics and collaborative teamwork.

WHEN: Mondays 4:10 to 5:10

This program immerses students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and is designed for both beginners and advanced learners. Beginners will build and program simpler robots, such as the claw bot, to complete a series of challenges involving arm mechanisms to collect and deposit objects on the field.

Returning students will take on more complex tasks, designing advanced robots to tackle real VEX IQ games in preparation for VEX IQ competitions. They will work with a variety of sensors, including touch, distance, color, gyro, and touch LED sensors.

Students will receive a VEX IQ super kit containing over 800 pieces, along with access to a computer for coding. They will learn essential programming concepts such as conditional statements, Boolean operations, loops, functions, and how to use sensor feedback to control the robot’s movements.
