The camp provides a comprehensive introduction to VEX IQ robotics, fostering critical thinking, coding, and engineering design skills through hands-on projects and team-based challenges.
This one-week day camp introduces middle school students to foundational coding and robotics design using the VEX IQ platform. Participants will engage in hands-on activities and collaborative projects to build, program, control, and operate VEX IQ robots. The curriculum covers an introduction to the VEX IQ system, including understanding robot structure, motors, sensors, and controllers. Students will learn basic engineering concepts such as stability and structure through hands-on robot assembly. They will also be introduced to VEXcode IQ for block coding, enabling them to program robot movements, turns, and simple tasks, and utilize sensors for basic automation. The camp emphasizes problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking through guided challenges and mini-competitions, culminating in a final project where students build and program a robot to complete a challenge.
A typical day involves specialized camp activities focused on robotics and coding, with snack breaks and a supervised lunch/recess period for students attending both morning and afternoon sessions.
This camp is ideal for middle school students (grades 6-8) who are new to robotics or have some experience with platforms like LEGO EV3 and are ready for a more advanced challenge.
