Description

Sensors active. Motors engaged. Report to the Egghead Robot Laboratory for your first assignment! To start, it's building time - using over 500 LEGO™ SPIKE Prime pieces, campers assemble a jousting robot, a maze-following robot, a forklift robot, and more. Next, guide them through pre-programmed, competitive challenges, focusing on mastering core robotics concepts like autonomy, actuators, and conditional logic. How might a robot “see” something without using cameras or eyes, or feel something without fingers? Every Egghead will earn the bragging right of the summer: the knowledge of transforming a heap of parts into a thinking machine!

During the day campers will mix up awesome science and engineering with fun outdoor activities (don't worry, we wouldn't want to be trapped in a classroom either) - never a dull moment! All campers should bring a lunch and some snacks for the day along with water and sunscreen.  We'll provide further details on what to bring closer to the start of camp so you can be well prepared!

 

Each Egghead camp is led by one of our fully trained Egghead Camp Coordinators - the best of the best! Participants should plan to bring a snack and reusable water bottle, and Professor Egghead will provide all materials for an awesome week of building.
