The camp offers a hands-on approach to learning complex computer programming and engineering skills through engaging robotics projects and competitions.
Students participating in the Robotics Foundations Using Mathematics summer camp at Maricopa Institute of Technology will engage in hands-on robotics projects, applying mathematical and scientific principles to real-world engineering challenges. The program emphasizes the engineering design process, encouraging students to work individually and collaboratively in teams to develop innovative solutions. Through these activities, campers will gain practical experience in computer programming and engineering, fostering skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and perseverance. The curriculum is designed to make abstract and complex concepts accessible and fun, culminating in the creation of operable robots.
The camp aims to provide a strong foundation for further STEM studies and potential careers in robotics and related fields. Students will explore mechanical design, programming, and scientific principles such as gear ratios, friction, and simple machines. The program aligns with Arizona College and Career Readiness, national, and international standards, ensuring a rigorous and integrated learning experience. It also incorporates communication, innovation, and collaboration to prepare students for academic and career success.
A typical day involves starting with a short worksheet outlining key concepts, followed by building and programming individual robot projects. Breaks are included for snacks or creative downtime.
This camp is ideal for high school students who are curious about how things work and are eager to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a hands-on way.
