Beginner Engineer & Beginner BattleBots Robotics (6/10 - 6/14)

9AM-12PM: Beginner Engineers

NextGen SmartyPants' Beginner Technic® Engineers teaches kids about Engineering components and Physics concepts through fun and engaging projects.  Learn how to use Gears, Pulleys, Springs, Axle, Bushings, and more as you build and design your own systems.  Students build Rovers, Cranes, Catapults, and more as they learn about angles, forces, and momentum and apply the math skills they learn in school via challenging, hands-on experiences.

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: Beginner BattleBot 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 different siege weapons, including robotic Catapults, Crossbows, Battleaxes, and more.  Teams divide up to toss (safe) projectiles in the ultimate battle-royale!  Super-fun!

Early-Morning Drop-Off and Late-Afternoon Pick-Up services are available here.
