Campers will dive head-first into VEX IQ, a platform “geared” toward young innovators interested in building and programming robots. This camp is suitable for those just beginning their journey into robotics and programming as well as those who have some VEX experience. Campers will get an introduction to the creative and collaborative process of robotics as they build, program, and run amazing task-oriented machines! Campers should bring a computer.

[Editor Note: This camp is based on VEX IQ, not the Lego EV3’s and is NOT associated with FLL, but this announcement was posted for those interested in going to a robotics camp this summer]
