Team 768 has been running a robotics camp for 2 years now there are 3 one week sessions. This camp is in conjunction with Johns Hopkins but has teacher from Woodlawn high school and students teaching the camp. The camp goes from 9-2 for 1 week
The curriculum is this
Day 1: intro to program and then each child is given a robot kit
soccer robot
And given most the rest of the day to compete. then they are given time to play on the field against each other, if students finish early they are partnered up and given time to play with Lego mindstorms(which is the next day's activities), most finish just in time to play for a while. A wrap up is given and kids are sent home.
Day 2: Lego mindstorms are introduced and a short talk about programming but basically they follow one of the designs in the book that comes with mindstorms. Then they are challenged to build a Lego robot that does something, this gives them a chance to play more with programming and problem solving.
Day 3: field trip to Johns Hopkins for a tour or the facility, let them see the labs show them some work cell robots, etc (not really sure what happens the whole day)
Day 4:kids get introduced to the
boe bot that is a basic stamp controlled robot. They are then taught the basics of programming in Basic with the goal of completing a maze. Then they are guided through the steps of converting the bots with touch sensors, IR sensors etc. main idea of the day is programming
Day 5: kids work in the morning perfecting their various projects they have work on through the week. In the afternoon all the parents come in and a competition happens for all the different robots; a soccer comp, mindstorm challenge, boe bot maze, and boe bot creativity.
At the end of the week the kids keep the soccer robots. The camp costs something like 350 and includes lunch each day. Students age from 5-8th grades. On a side note the camp was so popular that they expanded the program and now offer week camps in art, and forensics.
