Welcome STEM community changers!
Welcome STEM community changers!
We are so excited that you have decided to partner with the Delta Overload robotics team as we use STEM to change our community! Delta Overload is a robotics team that started 2016 as a part of the Actualizing STEM Potential in the Mississippi Delta initiative. We are dedicated to raising STEM awareness within our community by offering our annual summer camp on a virtual platform due to the COVID-19 crisis. We would like to provide our community the opportunity to learn about engineering design, CADD design, computer programming, 3D printing and so much more. Our goal is to provide meaningful engagement in STEM and to apply what we've learned to create meaningful solutions in our community. Orientation for summer camp will be held on June 26, 2020.

Registration for grades 3-5 engineering design
Registration for grades 3-5 engineering design
Welcome to the world of STEM! This course is designed to immerse elementary students in problem based inquiry and engineering design. Students will experience a series of engineering activities that prepare them to use the engineering design process to identify and draft solutions for real world problems. The Delta Overload robotics team has used this iterative process to design various types of robots for the community as well as competition robots for the FIRST robotics organization. In addition, engineers use this process everyday to create an array of solutions and products for the everyday consumer. Your idea will be automatically submitted into a Community Changers design competition for your grade level.

Registration for grades 6-12 tinkercad
Registration for grades 6-12 tinkercad
In this class, you will learn how to design in Tinker CAD, which is an online 3D modeling design program that allows you to take hand drawn sketches of your ideas and transform them into 3D model images. These images are the first step toward turning your idea into a usable product. The Delta Overload robotics team designs 3D computer-drawn images of their competition robot each year before building it. After completing a series of Tinker CAD assignments, you will complete a final project, which is to create a 3D model design of your idea for making changes within your community. Your idea will be automatically submitted into a Community Changers design competition for your grade level.

This course is designed to immerse students in visual based coding with respect to computer programming. Students will experience various modules in which they will write code for projects based activities as well as games. Scratch is a global platform and they can share their ideas around the world. Students will use their programming in knowledge, skills, and practices to identify and draft solutions to real world problems in their community. Your idea will be automatically submitted into a Community Changers design competition for your grade level.

Registration for SOLID professor for grades 9-12
Registration for SOLID professor for grades 9-12
In this three week, self-paced, CADD instruction course, you will have the opportunity to learn about 3D computer aided design. The course will consist of several modules that will provide video instruction and checkpoint assignments that will assess your mastery of the content. The Solid Professor subscription will allow you to continue exploring the world of CADD after the summer virtual camp has concluded. This is the perfect course for students who like to draw or design. Students will identify a community based problem and create a solution using the knowledge from this course. Your idea will be automatically submitted into a Community Changers design competition for your grade level.
