Campers build and take home multiple robots, including a "Mars-like" RC Rover and an Aluminum Can Robot, fostering continued learning and engagement beyond the camp week.
In the Club SciKidz of Silicon Valley - Junior Robot Engineer camp, young engineers aged 7-9 embark on an exciting journey into the world of robotics. Campers gain hands-on experience by building and experimenting with various robots. They learn about the six simple machines and how these fundamental mechanical principles are integrated into more complex robotic systems. The curriculum also covers essential concepts of electricity, circuits, and power sources. Through engaging projects, participants construct a "Mars-like" RC Rover, capable of performing multiple experiments, and an Aluminum Can Robot. The camp emphasizes problem-solving, creative thinking, and mechanical skills, with campers taking home their creations to continue the fun and learning. No prior engineering experience is required, making it an ideal introduction to robotics for curious minds.
A typical day includes morning greetings and a science demonstration, followed by three science sessions and recess. Full-day campers also have an afternoon outdoor component and two additional science lessons.
This camp is best for young, curious learners aged 7-9 who are interested in how machines work and enjoy hands-on building and experimentation.
