RoboCamp
RoboCamp is a one-week program where campers design, build, and code robots in small groups. RoboCamp will use the Lego Mindstorms Robot Inventor kit to teach campers about the basic engineering concepts that go into the field of robotics. Based on each student’s level of interest there will be a wide range of robot objectives and challenges. Mentored by students and mentors on the FIRST Robotics Team #9111, Pyro Mechanics.
