Program Highlights
In Robotics and Drone Camp, campers will get to build and program an autonomous mBot2 robot. Campers will learn how robots “see” and move about in the world. They will discover how to use data from sensors to help their robot solve problems and accomplish tasks. Campers will also learn to pilot drone quadcopters and navigate them through obstacle courses. Campers should wear comfortable clothing and sun protection. We will try to have some outdoor time each day.
