Campers get to design, build, and power their own robots to compete in Olympic-style games, taking home their projects to continue learning.
The Robot Olympic Challenge Camp offers elementary students an immersive experience in robotics and engineering. Campers actively design, build, and power their own robots to engage in a variety of Olympic-style challenges. Each day introduces new creations, from speedy racers to unique robot wonders, utilizing electricity or alternative energy sources. Through hands-on experiments, students explore fundamental concepts in mechanics, circuits, and motion, bringing their inventions to life and testing them in friendly competitions. The program emphasizes creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, fostering an understanding of how innovation meets imagination to achieve goals. Campers gain practical experience with motors, chassis, processors, power sources, gears, automation, efficiency, batteries, circuits, insulators, conductors, and various tools. They also delve into concepts like form, function, grip, leverage, iteration, design choice, performance, sensors, alignment, input/output, IR sensors, calibration, solar energy, electrons, absorption, reflection, simple machines, mechanical advantage, pulleys, rotation, center of gravity, trajectory, physics, and measurement. Students take home the projects they create, allowing for continued learning and exploration.
A typical day includes three hands-on science experiments, where children work both collaboratively and independently, two outdoor sessions for games and play, and a daily Camp Rally to summarize the day and recognize achievements.
This camp is ideal for elementary students aged 5-11 who are curious about science and technology, enjoy hands-on activities, and are eager to build and program robots while developing social skills.
