Summer Camps – Georgetown

 

Want your child to do something unique and absolutely cool this summer? How about having them learn how to build and design Robots using the LEGOs?  Students will learn basic robotic engineering, programming principals, and the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) concepts while having FUN!

Your child’s natural curiosity and ingenuity will help them envision possibilities and develop innovative solutions to difficult technology problems. Learning Fun 101 will challenge your student with authentic, hands-on explorations and then provide support as they engage in:

Questioning • Exploring • Imagining • Designing • Constructing • Inventing • Testing • Observing • Learning • Failing (and trying again)

No prior Lego experience is required. Students will be taught everything they need to know during our camps. Students will work in teams of two/three —friends are welcome to sign up together and can be partners.

Price: $135.00

Date: June 25, 2012

NEW Camp!

Young budding engineers love this "hands-on, minds-on" program. Concepts of simple machines such as gears, pulleys, levers and wheels are introduced through a series of activity-card LEGO building projects. With the use of motors and electrical controls, the models come alive right before their eyes!  Student will engage in projects that connect with that camps  theme with a variety of different kits:  Simple Machines, Motorized Simple Machines, WeDo Robotics, Crazy contraptions, LEGO structures and MORE!

GT July 30 - August 3 - LEGO Mindstorm - Battle Bots & Animation - Rising 4th - 7th

Price: $135.00

Date: July 30, 2012

 

Lego Mindstorms: Battle Bots and Animation

Battle Bots: Campers learn to design and build their own motorized battle cars and other vehicles. Using principles of simple and complex machines, gearing, and mechanical advantage, students will try to flip, push, or smash their opponent’s battle vehicles. Students learn the use of mechanical lifts, drills, ramps and more to disable or overcome other bots. Students may outgrow their love of LEGOs (don’t count on it), but this insight into physics will stay with them forever.

Animation: In this fun and challenging camp, we will introduce students to the world of animation. Teams of two or three will work create a short stop-motion film using LEGOs. Students will learn about storyboarding, animation, post-production, and the importance of teamwork. If you joined us last year, join us again for more challenges including editing and sound effects.
