Makerspace & Robotics Exploration Camp

This exciting two-week camp will stimulate the mind of your young creator by exploring the Maker World in week 1 and the world of Robotics in week 2.

Campers spend the morning participating in Makerspace and Robotics Camp and the afternoon is filled with the same activity choices as Activity Camp.

Makerspace Exploration and Creation - week 1

Explore the Maker World! This week, campers will learn about the devices in The Roeper School Lower School Makerspace (3D Printers, Cricut Maker, Sewing Machine, and Programmable Drones). Campers will work daily to learn about the machines and related software and complete creative projects using the machines.

Robotics Exploration - week 2

Grow your robot building, driving, and programming skills! During the week we will explore VEX robotics programming, driving, building, and teamwork to solve a variety of challenges. The campers will work collaboratively to troubleshoot and investigate the limits of the robots using different graphical programming sequences, sensors, and building designs.

Makerspace & Robotics Exploration is only offered in session 3
