Smiles and Circuits: Designing Robots to Spark Joy! - HALF DAY (Week 8)

Smiles and Circuits: Designing Robots to Spark Joy HALF DAY(Elementary-K-6)

Does your child dream of creating something extraordinary? In Smiles and Circuits, campers will channel their creativity and engineering skills to design a robot whose sole purpose is to bring smiles to others! This challenge is perfect for budding inventors and young problem-solvers, blending imagination with design principles in a fun and engaging environment. 

Camp Highlights: 

• Design with Purpose: Campers will create a robot concept no larger than 5 feet x 5 feet x 5 feet. They'll design for a specific user, focusing on what their robot will do to spread joy. 

• Hands-On Creation: From brainstorming to building, kids will sketch and craft a 3D prototype of their "Robot Friend." 

• Digital Storytelling: Using Scratch, campers will animate their robot’s story, explaining how it spreads happiness and the tasks it performs. 

• STEAM-Powered Fun: This camp integrates design thinking, art, and technology to inspire young innovators. 

What Campers Will Learn: 

• Design principles for robots, including materials, functions, and control mechanisms. 

• Digital storytelling to bring their creations to life. 

• Presentation and collaboration skills through group activities and feedback sessions. 

Campers will leave with a digital Scratch project, a robot model, and a sense of accomplishment in creating something that makes the world a little brighter!
