What would
you build? Where would you start? In Beginning RoboCamp,
campers design, build, and program robots. A major goal
of the camp is to spark interest in science, mathematics
and
technology through inquiry-based, hands-on learning.

construct
robotic models utilizing creativity, design, logic, teamwork
