Advanced Robotics at Palos Verdes July 11 -15th 10AM -1PM

$349.00
A four-hour extension on our camps. We add additional activities, some technical and some not -- since even young engineers need a break. On top of the added experiments, we’ll also do scavenger hunts, group games, and other activities outside.

Build and program a robot that uses touch, light, and ultrasonic sensors to independently navigate in its environment. Students will build and program the robot and its electronics sensor circuits. Each session will have a specific challenge for the day and we will conclude the course with a robotics competition that incorporates all of the topics covered. This lab is a great introduction to computer programming and embedded electronics for robots. We will be using BASIC stamp and Arduino microcontrollers learning programming in BASIC and C languages. Students will build a robot suitable for competion in an international event at the level of ROBOGAMES (see www.robogames.net ). This is an advanced course but requires no prior experience with robots, just familiarity with computers, a strong interest in technology and willingness to learn.
Students will use our robotics kits at no additional charge. You can purchase your advanced robotics kit to keep starting at $159.99 for the basic kit.
