About the Camp
Robotics Camp is an inquiry-based experience that encourages motivated students to explore the fundamental concepts of computer science through robotics and animation software.

Build, then program your robot:
    •    to select, pick up and carry various objects
    •    to navigate around obstacles and find its way through a maze
    •    to play music (or even as an interactive beatbox)
    •    to boogie around on the dance floor!

Campers will participate in these and other fun hands-on projects designed to help them actively learn the foundations of computer science and robotics.  Robotics Camp will culminate with a robotics symposium through which students can share the results of their work with friends and family.  Robotics Camp instructors are Worcester Academy faculty members who all share a common enthusiasm for computer science education.
