Vex-plorers Robotics (Ages 9-11)
Vex-plorers Robotics (Ages 9-11)Get ready for an electrifying summer at our Robotics Academy, where young innovators transform into builders and programmers! This isn't just a camp; it's a hands-on adventure designed to ignite a passion for STEM through the exciting world of robotics. Our expert-led program focuses on building, coding, and problem-solving in a fun, collaborative environment. From the fundamentals of engineering to the thrill of competition, campers will develop critical thinking, teamwork, and technical skills that last a lifetime.
Step up to the ultimate robotics showdown! Our advanced camp challenges you to design, build, and program your own competitive 'BattleBot' using the powerful VEX Robotics system. This is where engineering, circuitry, and real-world coding with VEXcode Python collide. You'll learn to build a robot from the ground up, craft a winning strategy, and put your creation to the test in a thrilling, week- long tournament to become the robotics champion. The future of robotics starts with you.
Vex Battlebots summer camps are also available for ages 11-13 & 13-15.
This camp is also offered for ages 11–15, featuring more advanced engineering challenges and competitive robot battles. Campers take their robotics skills to the next level with complex builds, enhanced programming, and strategic competition.
