Registration for this schedule starts on 02/26/2025 and ends on 08/03/2025
Participants must be entering grades 8 to 12.
Students will construct and program robots with a system similar to the Arduino Elegoo, using cameras and programmable motors and sensors to develop a vehicle that can operate by remote control and also in self-driving, autonomous mode. Sensors may include camera vision, IR or Ultrasonic sensors, line follow sensors, bump/touch sensors and others. Day 1 of the camp will be an introduction to Arduino boards and basic circuits and programming. The rest of the week will involve assembly of the robot vehicles, deeper programming skills, and addition of sensors with the aim of navigating through a course by autonomous driving. On Friday, campers will make final adjustments to coding and design, to demonstrate their vehicle’s ability to navigate the course. During the week, campers will have breaks for fun engineering design challenges. We hope to include visits by engineers from one or two robotics companies to demonstrate their technology and talk about career opportunities. This program is held on the beautiful site of The Silo at Hunt Hill Farm in New Milford.
