How would you like to turn your next LEGO® creation into a robot, programmed to do exactly what you tell it to do? Join us for this fun robotic engineering camp where campers will build a new robot each day while learning programming on powerful software including LEGO® WeDo and Scratch programming platforms. This is a great camp to introduce students to the world of programming. (Min 6/Max 20)
