In this camp, the students will learn STEM concepts, design process, and apply them to design and build contraptions and robots using open source software and hardware and a novel robotics kit called SnappyXO (snappyxo.com).
- Learn Mechanical Design, Practical Electronics, and Microcontroller Programming.
- Each student will receive a take-home Mechatronics kit and a SnappyXO Robot kit
- Full Scholarship available for qualified students.
