Attached is the preliminary itinerary for our week-long robotics camp:

We will primarily be using the LEGO Mindstorm Kits.

We will have approximately 20 kids ranging from rising sophomores to seniors (as well as a few of us leaving off to college) running the majority of the program.

Our head robotics coaches/teachers will be supervising this whole week-long camp. However, they are not going to be running the camp: That is for us students to.

Download the link that I sent you. It should have a full itinerary. If you have any further questions about each of these games, I will be happy to clarify.

I believe we have approximately 8-10 full kits. We assume 5 kids per kit is quite manageable. Therefore, we will be able to accept at most 50 kids.

Everybody running this camp (from teachers to students) will be doing this free of charge. The aim of this camp (from the financial side) is to raise money for our team while providing an interesting service to the community. Students who cannot afford to pay for this camp will be subsidized.

Most importantly, this is a great opportunity to get involved, and that is what our team strives to accomplish.
