LEGO Robotics School Break Camp

March 15 - 19

Every day campers take on new challenges and skills in this crash course to robotics!

This camp progresses through the core science and engineering concepts that define robotics. Campers begin with an exploration of circuits and electronics to understand the fundamentals of robotics. Mid-week campers tackle mechanical engineering and physics as they become more familiar with simple machines and mechanical advantage. The week of camp concludes with computer code and logic as campers tie together their new skills on an open-ended robotic challenge field. No prior knowledge is required. The main robotic platform used in this camp is the LEGO Mindstorm system.

Wellness Update:

All camps will run at less than 50% capacity.

Students who are able to do so will wear masks while in the classroom. We will allow for breaks from the mask in limited safe outdoor situations and for of course water, snack, and lunch breaks (and as needed). Social distancing guidelines will be maintained whether students are wearing masks or not, and whether they are indoors or outdoors. The mask should be washed regularly at home. If your camper is unable to wear a mask for any reason, please let us know.

Camp sign-in will take place in a car line rather than inside the museum. Each camper will receive a brief symptom and temperature check before exiting their vehicle. No campers experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 will be allowed to enter camp.

Camps will run from 9am to 4pm.

Unfortunately, early drop off and late pick up will not be available.

Games such as tag will be replaced with no-touch alternatives.

Group projects will be altered to avoid close proximity and frequent touch surfaces.

Daily cleaning protocols have been greatly enhanced.

Rigorous hand washing and sanitation routines for campers and staff will be in place.

Time spent outdoors will be increased substantially (as weather allows).

Edison Ford staff will wear masks at all times.

No snacks will be available for sale.
