Visual Coding Summer Tech Camp

(All Day) Game Coding & Robotic Engineering

Bring science and technology to life with LEGO robotics and Scratch programming! Students work in pairs to build robotic creations using gears, sensors, and motors, then shift to coding individually in Scratch to animate and control their models. Hands-on challenges spark creativity and curiosity as they explore motion, tilt detection, and mechanical design. Students will troubleshoot, experiment, and celebrate their successes while gaining confidence in engineering and programming. This class combines collaboration and independence, making robotics fun, engaging, and interactive while building valuable problem solving and technical skills for future innovators. Bring a USB drive on the last day.
