Campers gain valuable experience with VEX IQ robots and programming languages used in middle school, high school, and college robotics competitions, culminating in robot battles and teamwork challenges.
Camp Tech Revolution at the University of San Diego offers a Robotics with VEX IQ program where kids aged 10-14 can immerse themselves in hands-on robotics and engineering. Campers will learn to design, build, and program VEX IQ robots, utilizing both a block-based programming language similar to Scratch and ROBOTC, a standard for educational robotics competitions. The curriculum emphasizes the engineering design process, encouraging students to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning skills as they create and automate mechanical systems. Activities include building versatile 'Hero Bots,' experimenting with advanced gears, pulley systems, and high-tech sensors, and programming robots to navigate obstacles and react to their environment. The week culminates in exciting robot battles and teamwork challenges, providing a practical application of their newly acquired skills and fostering collaboration. This camp aims to ignite a passion for STEM by blending creativity, imagination, and practical application in a dynamic learning environment.
A typical day involves structured sessions to learn new robotics and programming concepts, followed by hands-on project time to apply these skills, with breaks for outdoor activities and lunch at the Pavilion Dining Hall.
This camp is best for kids aged 10-14 who are curious about technology, enjoy problem-solving, and want to gain hands-on experience in robotics, coding, and engineering.
