Auto-Bots: Autonomous Robotics (Grades 3-5)

July 14 - 18

Code, mechanics, teamwork, and strategy come together in this fast paced camp. Campers use the LEGO Mindstorm robotics platform as they attempt challenges on the First LEGO League challenge table. This camp teaches autonomous robotics as campers learn how to code the motion of the LEGO robot. Members of the Edison Ford Robotics Program will be on hand to help campers reach their full potential.

LEGO Creators (Grades K - 2)

July 14 - 18

Each group of campers design their own section to innovation city. Using Spike Essential LEGO kits, campers will design their part of the city with moving parts and lights! In order to flip the switch and get things moving campers will learn basic code blocks to move their city into the future.

The Science of Art & Design (Grades K - 2)

July 21 - 25

Campers delve into creative expression and learn the science behind the art. The science of light and color are explored as campers learn about the mixing of light and pigment with Newton’s disk. Campers design soft circuits with conductive playdough and observe geometric patterns with a blackburn pendulum. All of this while learning about the 7 elements of art.

Code Camp (Grades 3 - 5)

July 28 - August 1

Campers explore the core concepts of code as they design a game, an interactive story, or anything they can think up! Campers will learn about loops, boolean logic, if/else statements, variables, and more. Campers will get a copy of their project at the end of the week that includes a code library for use after camp.

Video Creators (Grades K - 2)

July 28 - August 1

This camp is focused on storytelling and the technology behind it. Campers work on stop motion animation, basic editing, and how to structure a simple scene. In small groups, campers develop their ideas and produce short animated scenes that they can share with friends and family.

Design in 3-D (Grades K - 5)

August 4 - 8

If you can imagine it, you can create it! Campers explore the world of Computer Aided Design and 3D printing in this exciting camp. Ideas go from concept to reality as campers learn this critical 21st century skill, then take home their own design.
