The benefits of a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education are life changing, which is why Team 4 will be hosting a robotics summer camp for kids ages 8-14! This is an incredible opportunity for younger students to be exposed to the world of engineering and robotics in a unique, hands-on environment. They’ll learn engineering fundamentals by developing their own robots using LEGO Mindstorm and the latest 3-D printing technology to complete various challenges. Throughout camp, they’ll work in our professional robotics lab, tour our machine shop, and spearhead fun robotics projects. They’ll receive mentorship and assistance throughout the entire process, and by the end of it, they’ll be ready to take on the world of robotics.
The first session focuses on designing, building, and programming LEGO Mindstorm robots to compete in the King Of The Hill challenge and complete the Ultimate Obstacle Course. This provides a thorough introduction to the world of robotics through small projects. This session teaches foundation robotics skills such as planning ahead, designing, logical thinking, strategizing, and identifying solutions.
The second session utilizes more advanced software to design and 3D print small “angry birds” catapults. Students use TinkerCAD, a simplified version of professional computer aided design software, to design a catapult. Using real 3D printers, they print their final design and play in our very own catapult tournament called Strong Birds which is a fusion between FRC Stronghold and Angry Birds. This allows for students to experience and practice with real engineering tools in a safe environment.
