What is ASU Summer Robotics Camp?
Download PDF Flyer in English and PDF Flyer en español and Video 2012, Video 2010ASU’s Robotics Camps are summer program series designed for middle school (7Up camp) and high school (9Up Camp)students who intend to pursue a science and engineering career. The camps were established through a U.S. Department of Education's FIPSE Program grant (2007-2010), an Arizona Science Foundation grant (2007-2009), and Intel Education Partnership. The program is administrated by the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. Camp instructors use component-based robot construction, robotics programming, Web programming, and Alice game programming, and phone app programming as a vehicle to teach the latest engineering design concepts and computing technologies. The robots built by students will enter a robotics challenge and demonstration at the end of the camp.
7Up RobotCamp, June
6 to June 17, 2016 (excluding Saturday and Sunday), from 8:30am
to 4:30pm.
This camp is designed for students entering grades 7 and 8.
Exceptional students entering grade 6 can be considered. Students will start to
learn programming using Alice programming environment with 3D animation, movie
and game development. Then, student will design and construct robots, learn
EV3 robotics programming, and participate in the robotics challenge at the level of
difficulty similar to
FIRST Lego League (FLL) Robotics Competition.
