Robotics Engineering
Robotics brings together the various technological fields necessary
in today’s world. While building robots, kids not only accumulate
skills in engineering, computer science, and physics, they also learn
valuable leadership and project management skills. Children participating
in our Robotics workshops are guided through a handson
experience, where they learn to build robots using the LEGO
Mindstorms Construction System 2.0. With gears, pulleys, beams,
axles, and many more building elements, kids learn to create mechanical
masterpieces. When kids add sensors, motors, and a Robotic
Command Explorer (RCX), their masterpiece responds to
their command and its environment. Students will work in teams
throughout the course. No prior experience in programming is
necessary. Material Fee: $35 (Due on the first day of the camp)
Instructor: VisionTech Staff.
Robotics Engineering I
Campers will be using the LEGO NXT Robotics system to design,
build and program their robot from scratch. Students participating
in our Robotics camps are guided through a hands-on experience,
where they learn to build robots using the LEGO NXT Robotics
System. Campers will learn to build structurally sound robots and
design multiple robots. They will learn the use of different sensors
and will learn to incorporate them in their robots. They will write
multiple programs for their robots in order to complete challenges.
Throughout the week campers will engage in friendly challenges on
the earlier FLL boards. Kids will be split in age appropriate groups.
No prior experience in programming is necessary. At the end of
the camp kids take home all the pictures and tournament video on
a CD. Material Fee: $35 (Due on the first day of the camp)
Instructor: VisionTech Staff.
2D Video Game Design
For the 2D video Game Design camp campers will be using Multimedia
Fusion 2.00(MMF) to design and create a realistic looking
game. In this camp students will learn to create their own multi
level game and understand how the game design process works,
complete with characters, levels, health counters, and lives. Students
will learn not only to build a technically superior game, but to
build a game complete with a storyline, a plot, and excellent visuals
and sounds. All students will work individually on their game and
on their own laptops. Students will also take their game home
on a CD, and will receive instructions on how to download the
demo version of the software so they can continue working on
their game when they get home. Material Fee: $55 (Due on the
first day of the camp)
