Description

:feet: Animal Kingdom Robotics

This week is all about the wild side of robotics! Students will build moving models inspired by animals—think penguins, elephants, turtles, llamas, and crabs. As they construct and animate their robotic creatures, campers explore movement mechanics, motor coordination, and environmental interactions. It’s a fun way to blend STEM with biology, design, and storytelling.

Campers will develop key STEM skills as they explore:

  • Angles & Turns – Programming 90°/180° movements

  • Gear Ratios – Exploring speed vs. torque

  • Distance & Measurement – Using sensors and timing

  • Loops & Sequencing – Learning automation basics

  • Sensor Responses – Integrating color and motion triggers

  • Teamwork & Problem Solving – Building and testing together

Campers are grouped by age and experience to ensure everyone is appropriately challenged while having fun.
