Campers get to build and take home their very own working robot, providing a tangible outcome of their week-long learning and experimentation.
The Mad Science of Phoenix - Robot Recruit camp offers children an engaging and interactive exploration into the world of robotics and engineering. Campers will delve into the fundamentals of robot design, learning about robot anatomy, gears, and various energy sources that power these machines. Through hands-on activities, participants will build their own working robots, gaining practical experience with different robotic devices such as line trackers, intelligent robotic pets, and Bluetooth-enabled smart robots. The curriculum also introduces basic coding concepts using visual programming languages and color-coding to control robot behavior. Children will experiment with circuits, sensors, and even industrial applications with robotic arms, fostering an intuitive understanding of complex systems and design principles. The camp aims to spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers by making learning a thrilling adventure.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments with automatons, remote control devices, and programmable robots at rotating stations, along with group active games that reinforce robotics concepts. Campers will also spend time building their take-home robot.
This camp is best for curious children aged 6-12 who are eager to explore the fundamentals of robotics, engineering, and basic coding through interactive and hands-on activities.
