Wild and Wacky Robot Walkers & Steerable Cars: Learn the basic mechanical properties of “how things work and move” through a total hands-on learning experience. Learn STEM aspects and understand the robotics aspect with each build. Students will work with Lego technic parts that come together to create movable, steerable, and remote-controlled robots. They will engage in a group of four with assigned roles as Instructor, Engineer, Builder, and Cross checker that rotates daily. They are encouraged to work as a team and will explore the use of motors, gears, pulleys, axles, wheels, IR technology and much more. Each build will be followed by a thrilling challenge that illustrates the need for modifications and also the need for “simplicity” and pitfalls of “complexity”. Have FUN racing your car and compete with other teams each day. Students who are participating in a full day camp must bring their own nut-free sack lunch, snack, and water bottle.

Campers learn to design and build their own motorized battle robots. Using principles of simple and complex machines, gearing, and mechanical advantage, students will try to flip, push, or smash their opponent’s battle robot. Students learn the use of mechanical lifts, drills, ramps and more to disable or overcome other bots. Students will build and program a LEGO® Robot to compete in the Battle Bot Championship! The robots will battle “to the death”, and the designers of the “last robot standing” for each round will be the winners. New challenges each week! Students who are participating in a full day camp must bring their own nut-free sack lunch, snack, and water bottle.

For our advancing robot engineers join the elite group of recruits to become a spy-in-training. Agents in training will receive their super-secret mission during each camp and then learn to build and code a robot that will have to move through obstacles to retrieve top-secret documents. They will be challenged to incorporate technology concepts, engineering principles, and programming, while using the LEGO© ® Robotics Construction Kits, Campers will learn how to break or make codes, learn coding, surveillance techniques, critical thinking, and solve logic puzzles. Each camp has new missions! No experience necessary – we teach kids everything they need to know to complete the secret mission.

Coding with Finch robots is an exhilarating and educational experience that blends technology, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The Finch is a small, programmable robot with a myriad of sensors and actuators, making it a versatile tool for exploring various coding concepts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced programmer, coding with Finch robots offers a hands-on approach to learning. Using a block-based programming language, you can unleash your imagination and bring the Finch to life. By writing code, you can instruct the Finch to move, make sounds, recognize objects, avoid obstacles, or interact with its environment using its light and touch sensors. This empowers you to create interactive and dynamic projects that engage both your mind and your senses. Moreover, coding with Finch robots fosters a growth mindset by promoting resilience and problem-solving skills. As students encounter obstacles or unexpected results, they learn to analyze, debug, and improve their code. This iterative process not only strengthens kids' programming skills but also cultivates perseverance and adaptability. Coding with Finch robots is an exciting journey that combines creativity, logical thinking, and a deep understanding of technology. It empowers students to become a master of code and robotics, unlocking a universe of endless possibilities. So join us as we embark on your coding adventure that lets kids' imaginations soar. Required Supplies: Bring you RRISD District Chromebook. For questions about this specific class, please email: cristina_cowes@roundrockisd.org

Young Engineers are given age-appropriate LEGO® lessons and games, and LEGO® sets with plenty of instructors to help with building. Concepts of simple machines such as gears, pulleys, levers, and wheels are introduced through a series of activity-card LEGO® building projects. With the use of motors and electrical controls, the models come alive right before their eyes! They will be challenged with the LEGO® WeDo robotics, LEGO® Mindstorms, LEGO® Simple Machines, and LEGO® Maker projects. Students will have the opportunity to work on both engineering and coding as they build their own robotic creations.

Campers use creative and collaborative skills to design a mission patch, train like an astronaut, and solve real-world engineering problems using spinoff technology, just like NASA astronauts working together on a mission. They propose answers to questions like "How could space suit cooling tubes be used to solve a problem here on Earth? How could robotic arms help make our world a better place?” Then, they create a storyboard and presentation to share their spinoff project and work on their science communication skills. Students who are participating in a full day camp must bring their own nut-free sack lunch, snack, and water bottle.
