Re: Hosting FLL Summer Camp

for the last couple of years, Fox Valley Robotics has hosted a summer camp for kids for 1st through 4th grade. it was a ton of fun, and it got a lot of kids interested in robotics. Ours was 3 days long, and for about 3 hours a day. The kids learned about the FLL robots and how to build/program them, and we did a few fun science experiments. This year we are hosting 4 summer camps for that age group. For any teams thinking about hosting something like that, i would strongly recommend it, not only is it a great fundraiser, but it's fun too!

If you want a good idea: last year we mixed up corn starch and water, and let the kids "walk on water" (when you run across the mixture, it compresses so that you don't sink) it was a little messy, so if you decide to try it, do it outside, but the kids loved it.
