About
Come learn about Science, Engineering, Life sciences and Communication skills at the MU LEGO Robotics Camps by building and programming robots using the LEGO NXTs in fun, hands-on, real world problem solving activities. Children with different ability levels can start and gain experience in relating concepts of science, technology and engineering to everyday life.
Students will learn by working in small teams to design and build working robots and program them to perform tasks. They will work in independent and team projects that will foster learning and development of the child. They will be exposed to various types of communication and have the opportunity to hone their presentation skills.
Robotic interaction is exciting and unique field with many opportunities. The LEGO Robotics Camp is a chance for students to participate in individual and small-team design projects while fostering an understanding of the engineering design process. Several open-ended engineering challenges are presented throughout the camps. Students use LEGO bricks and accompanying LEGO software as they design, build, and program robotic creations.
Each child is encouraged to work within his/her own abilities as they explore engineering and its underlying principles. Your child will gain skills that cannot be easily acquired in a classroom setting including learning the engineering design process as a way to solve problems involving real-world, hands-on projects. Camp instructors will be on hand for direction and assistance throughout the day to ensure your child has a positive and enjoyable experience.Instructors will be engineering students from the with professional experience in robotics.
No prior experience with LEGO or LEGO NXT is necessary to attend part 1 of our camps. However, only children that have attended part 1 can register for parts 2 and 3.

Although the program is educational, we want the children to enjoy themselves and have fun. Activity themes are designed to be of interest to the age group and gender(s) that attend the camp. Activities are structured to encourage students to make connections with other campers. The ratio of staff to campers is very low so that we may offer each student individualized attention.
