Class Overview

In this hands-on summer camp, students will explore the fundamentals of robotics by building and programming their own working robot. Over five sessions, participants will learn how robots sense, think, and act—using coding, electronics, and simple mechanical design to bring their creations to life.

Working in a small group setting, students will experiment with sensors, control movement, and problem-solve real-world challenges as their robot navigates a physical environment. By the end of the week, they’ll combine everything they’ve learned to complete a final interactive challenge.

No prior experience required.
