Description

9AM-12PM: Beginner BattleBots Robotics

Have fun creating robotic siege-weapons and go into battle with your friends!  Inspired by the hit show “Battlebots,” BattleBot Robotics teaches students about the integration of sensors, gears, pulleys, and coding while they blow each other up to smithereens!  Students build a different siege weapons, including robotic Catapults, Crossbows, Battleaxes, and more.  Teams divide up to toss (safe) projectiles in the ultimate battle-royale!  Super-fun!

12PM-1PM: Lunch Break

Students should bring nut-free lunch, snacks, and juice to eat and enjoy as they get hungry throughout the day.  Water and restrooms are available.  If weather permits, campers will be taken outside to walk and enjoy the playground nearby.

1PM-4PM: Coding Video Games with MakeCode

Intermediate Coding with MakeCode® and Javascript® builds on students' experience in Beginner Coding with Scratch to transition them from Drag-and-Drop Coding to Text-Based Coding. Students use Microsoft MakeCode to learn how to create animations, arcade games, and interactive story projects and convert their projects into Javascript.  Students also learn to control motors, web interaction elements, integration with circuits, and other advanced concepts.  At the end of the course, students create their own project and share it with their instructor and classmates. 

Final Notes

  • All Campers are expected to be fully self-sufficient and on respectful behavior at all times.  Students are expected to address any special needs, medications, bathroom responsibilities, and masks and social distancing (if necessary - hopefully not!!) for themselves. 
  • Students are welcome to eat snacks throughout the day and lunch between 12PM-1PM.  'Please' no nuts of any kind may be brought into our maker studio.  
  • Please pack an extra change of clothes, just in case of spillage or other accident.
  • Early-morning drop-off and/or late-afternoon pickup are available.
  • Please contact us at any time with any additional clarifications and questions: (860) 272-4000.
