ABOUT

Starting this year, two LEGO® Robotics camps will be offered: Junior Bots and Junior Bots Challenge. This new camp, offered in August, is designed for previous Junior Bot participants or students with LEGO® experience from FLL or similar programs. This is a new opportunity to continue building on skills learned and create more complex LEGO® robots.

The LEGO® Robotics summer camp is an exploration into robotics. Students will delve into different aspects of robotics including design, construction, programming, and problem-solving. Using LEGO Mindstorms technology, students will make robots to complete various challenges like a maze, a game of tug-of-war, and a robot-sumo competition.

The activities offered in these camps will prepare students to participate in robotics programs throughout their schooling. After camp, they will be ready to participate in the FIRST® LEGO League. Once students reach high school, a good option is the FIRST Robotics Competition.

Mentors and high school volunteers from FIRST Robotics Competition Team 167 will lead the camps. They will provide a comprehensive course in beginner or intermediate robotics. No experience in robotics is required in order to participate in Junior Bots; however, students with experience are still encouraged to take part in the camp or join Junior Bots Challenge in Session 2. All equipment will be supplied by Iowa City Robotics.
