Past Camps

Programmable Robotics Overnight Camp

Create a custom robot using Computer Aided Design and 3D printing, then control it with Scratch or Python programming languages.

Holiday Programmable Robotics Camp

Receive a programmable “mBot Neo” robot to wrap and put under the tree. Children will then bring the robot to the camp to assemble and program it using an easy-to-learn computer language.

Neural Models & Machine Learning

Receive a hands-on introduction to neuroscience and neural engineering.
