So You Want To Build A Space Robot? (Ages 9-11)
Dates & Times: June 12 – June 16, 9AM – 4PM
Whether landing on comets or exploring the red planet, robots are an essential part of modern space exploration. You will learn to design, program, and build different kinds of robotic systems to overcome a wide array of challenges! You’ll also get to experience how engineers design hardware for space by 3-D printing a model of your own design! You will work in teams of 2 for most of the program.
Registration closes June 9
Space Robotics – Automation Beyond Earth (Ages 11-13)
Dates & Times: June 26 – June 30, 9AM – 4PM
Whether surveying the solar system or redirecting an asteroid, robots are an essential part of modern space exploration. From gathering resources on the red planet to conducting an aerial survey of the Martian surface, you will learn to design, program, and build different kinds of robotic systems to solve real-world problems! You will work in teams of 2 for most of the program.
Camp attendance is sponsored by Pratt & Whitney.
Application closes April 16
One Giant Leap Into Your Future (IMEET)
Dates & Times: July 10 – July 14, 9AM – 4PM
This week-long camp developed in partnership with NASA leads students through a simulated Mars Rover mission. As NASA operates its Mars 2020 rover and drone, students will also design, build, and program robots and fly drones across a variety of terrains to accomplish their mission of exploring the surface of the Red Planet.
