Robotic Programming Explorer
Our campers will work on building and programming EV3 Mindstorms robots to tackle simulated real-world challenges. The activities are designed to stimulate creativity in young students, while showing them what computer science is about and how it impacts our daily life through innovations. Students will work together, make friends, and create robots from day one. No prior programming experience is required. Includes both indoor and outdoor activities.
