This free day camp provides a unique opportunity for middle schoolers to gain hands-on experience in robotics and STEM skills, led by university scholars in a welcoming environment.
The MnRI Technology Day Camp offers middle school students (entering grades 6th through 8th) an engaging and hands-on introduction to the world of robotics and STEM. Participants will delve into various aspects of robotic technology through fun, practical activities. The camp focuses on developing key STEM skills, including soldering, electronic circuit design, 2D computer-aided design (CAD), and computer programming. Students will have the opportunity to build their own robots, see their drawings manufactured by a computer, and learn to program robots using simple methods like paper and markers. The curriculum also covers fundamental concepts of electrical circuits. The camp aims to provide a welcoming and encouraging environment for students to explore their interest in technology and robotics, culminating in presentations where they can share their experiences and creations with family and friends.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where campers learn about robots and robotic technology, practice STEM skills like soldering and programming, and engage in team challenges.
This camp is ideal for middle school students entering 6th through 8th grades who are curious about technology, enjoy problem-solving, and want to learn new skills in robotics and STEM.
