Does your kid love robots so much that a half day of them isn’t enough? Due to overwhelming interest and demand, Mad Science is excited to announce we have created a full day version of Rockin’ Robots! We have added in hours of new hands on activities… robot mazes, alternative energy sources (solar, wind, and hydrogen), additional take homes (including a circuit maze game they will design and build themselves), and lots more hands on time with robots. As in our half day version, we will explore several different types of robots that do a variety of jobs. We will learn about the history of robot design, how sensors work, simple programming, and participate in robot relays. And, kids will build a working robot to take home at the end of the week.
Advanced Robotics:
Children will complete the building of their Rockit Robots and spend time using their imaginations to create robot designs of their own. They will experiment with special robots that play soccer and discover how to program robots via a sequence of command
Circuit Science:
This program will explore the “nuts and bolts” of robots as children will build simple circuits, test for conductors and non-conductors and discover how switches work. Children will make their own “Bugbots” to take home.
Ready for Robots!:
Children will explore the fundamentals of robotics and discover how robots are used through activities and games. They will begin to build their very own robot that they will take home at the end of the week.
Robots 101:
Campers will learn about Asimov’s “Laws of Robotics” and applications of robotic technology in this fun-filled program. They will continue building their Rockit Robot and make their own “Puppet Robot” to take home.
Use Your Common Sensors:
Children will explore the concept of sensors and discover what they enable a robot to learn about its environment. They will play games that involve their senses and do activities that involve communication. Children will make their own “Circuit Sensor”.
