Robotics Camp
This camp introduces participants to robotics through the VEX EDR robotics design system. This camp is ideal for students interested in coding and robotics. In pairs, students will build and program a robot to operate by remote control. Students will learn basic computer programming in RobotC by completing sensor integrated challenges throughout the week. The teams will compete in a final competition towards the end of the week.
