June 15-19
The Robotics 101 program, students will learn the basics of designing, programming, and controlling a fully functional robot. Using LEGO® MINDSTORMS®, mathematical concepts, and engineering principles students will brainstorm, plan, test, and modify sequences of instructions to accomplish a given task. Students will also learn the sequence of communication between the robot, and the programmer by collecting and analyzing data using the robot's sensors.
A fun and educational game-based environment where kids learn to code without any prior experience. After completing CodeMonkey's award-winning coding courses, kids will be able to navigate through the programming world with a sense of confidence and accomplishment.
June 22-26
111 years ago airplanes had not even made their first flight, yet today we can fly to the other side of the world in 12 hours! It is thanks to advances in technology that we are able to explore so much of the world. Over the next five days teams will have to work together to see who is able to travel the farthest around the world. This trek around the world will require students to design their very own boat, plane, and even a rocket!
Galactic Crafting: Java Minecraft (PM)
This camp will immerse students in a fascinating intersection of aerospace
and civil engineering,
the design of extraterrestrial building and structures. Using a modified version of Minecraft, students will be challenged to design
and build a self-sustaining habitat for themselves on the Moon. Students will learn to use the Engineering Design Process to work through a simulated version of the challenges of space travel in the relatively familiar setting of Minecraft
June 29- July 2
During the LEGO® Rescue EnviroBots, students design and program robots
to help accomplish environmentally friendly tasks. By creating robots
that can transfer nuclear waste, mine raw minerals, and deliver food and
goods more efficiently, they will be sure to contribute to a more sustainable
environment.
Electrical Engineering (PM)
This lesson is designed to give students a general overview about the different types of technology that exist in the everyday world and how engineers create and interact with technology to improve our lives. The curriculum for the Electrical Engineering program is designed to introduce students to the concepts of circuit design, building, and maintenance through various hands-on activities. Students will walk away with an in-depth knowledge on basic circuits.
July 6-10
Students will design, program, and control fully functional robotic models. They will use software to plan, test, and modify sequences of instructions for a variety of life-like robotic behaviors. They will also learn to collect and analyze data from the robot's sensors. This program will provide a series of real-life activities, covering topics within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics all using LEGO® Robotics.
Who has the strength to be a world-class athlete? In this five-day program, students will separate into teams and compete against opposing teams in various tests of mental and creative strength. The students will earn medals throughout the week and will endeavor to become the next great Engineering Olympiad.
July 13-17
Traveling into the Future: MinecraftEDU Explorations (AM)
Join us in an apocalyptic future, one where the earth has been ravaged by a series of natural disasters. Each day, students rely on the engineering design process to solve a series of challenges such as building a city on a series of islands, escaping from a bunker on Mt. Everest, and even building a rocket to land on the moon! Through application of engineering principles, students solve numerous challenges as they make their virtual world of Minecraft a safe place for humanity once again
During the LEGO® Robotics Ocean Missions program, students design and program robots to protect the ocean and ocean life by releasing a dolphin into the ocean, fixing a broken pipeline, and maintaining an oil platform. Students use LEGO® Robotics and computers to learn principles of robotics, computer programming, and teamwork.

Robotics: Mission to Mars (PM)
During the LEGO® Robotics Mission to Mars program, students design and program robots to explore an unknown planet, find safe shelter, and collect soil samples from the planet. Students use LEGO® Robotics and computers to learn principles of robotics, computer programming, and teamwork.
July 27-31
During the LEGO® Robot Surgeons program, students design and program
robots to function as medical robots by accomplishing a task that would
cure a disease or address an issue within a human organ. Students use
LEGO® Robotics and computers to learn principles of robotics, computer
programming, and teamwork.

Aug 3-7
Robotics: Robotic Olympics (AM)
During the LEGO® Robotics Olympics program, students design and program
robots to compete in simulated Olympic events such as a sprinting in a
race, throwing a basketball, and shooting a puck into a hockey goal. Students
use LEGO® Robotics and computers to learn principles of robotics, computer
programming, and teamwork.
Electronic Game Design: Ninja Attack (PM)
Defend your dojo from a ninja attack! Create a storyboard for rules and players using the Engineering Design Process as you make your very own platform game. Clickteam Fusion 2.5® will bring your storyboard to life! Take your Windows-compatible game home at the end of camp.
Aug 10-14
Robotics: Rescue Robots (AM)
During the LEGO® Rescue Robots program, students design and program
robots to respond to simulated disaster situations such as moving rubble
and retrieving targets. Students use LEGO® Robotics and computers
to learn principles of robotics, computer programming, and teamwork.
