Do you see the automated world around you? Are you curious about how it all works? This is the camp for you. Your curiosity will drive you to problem solve through the lens of robotics.

Assemble, program, and modify a robot to accomplish various tasks: drive around a track, draw a picture, or dance to music. Try out various sensors that let your robot detect the world around it, and work with a partner to figure out how to solve a maze. Take your robot home at the end of the week and continue tinkering at home.

Utilize the open-source electronics prototyping platform, Arduino, used by hundreds of thousands of makers and hobbyists across the planet. With an Arduino board, you can control a huge variety of devices and projects with only a minimal knowledge of electronics.
