This past week, Robot U held an all day STEM Camp at the North Bend Train Depot. It was a lot of fun and parents were asking about our summer camps and classes. Well, registration opens April 7th for our Si View camps and we’ll be at several Seattle Y’s through the summer.

Also this summer we will be holding multiple camps with Si View Community Center in North Bend. While this year the Y has decided to just do robotics, Si View has opted for a full-day STEM camp that offers a different STEM activity each day. Scratch game design, Sphero robotic balls, Minecraft, Power Functions remote-controlled contraptions, and an instructor’s choice.

Choose from a full-day STEM Camp, morning LEGO robotics, or a rotating afternoon STEM series.

Students of all elementary ages will have a great time when they build incredible LEGO robots all week long with the help of our talented instructors, Campers choose what to build from a huge selection of plans and different sets for all skill levels. They can level up, level down, or whatever they feel comfortable with. They are free to build as many different robots as time allows.

Stick around for the afternoon and enjoy a different STEM class each day

• Scratch Arcade – students learn to program an arcade game using Scratch, MIT’s graphical programming program (pretty much every student will be exposed to it in their academic career).
• Minecraft – On a private local server, players can create or explore with fellow campers.
• Sphero – This prismatic programmable sensor-packed ball is incredibly fun.
• Technic RC – We like to call it LEGO Garage, but it also goes by Power Functions. Students build their own contraptions and operate them remotely.
• On the last day, we circle back to either one of the previous offerings, work more on incomplete projects, or possibly do something completely different.

Thursday the 19th of January we will be attending North Bend Elementaries Science Fair!

Saturday the 26th of November we had a little free Jr Robotics free event. Children (and apparently dads too) got to build robots while waiting for the Santa Train!
