Red Hot Robots!

(Ages 8-12 or entering Grades 3-6)

Delve into the fascinating world of robotics and machines in this weeklong program. Children will construct their own robots while gaining a working knowledge of the science of circuits, wheels, gears, and sensors. They will build motorized robots, most likely one that can be set up to walk on 4 or 6 legs or to move like a monkey hand-over-hand down a rope. They’ll also learn about simple machines and how they, like robots, are used to make life easier. Robots go home with campers on the last day of the program. All supplies included.
