About this camp

Congressional School Robotics & Engineering Camps offer hands-on instruction in robotics and engineering, allowing students to build and program their own robotic creations. Campers explore engineering concepts, learn the basics of coding, and experiment with sensors, motors, and interactive components. They engage in various build-and-code challenges, fostering problem-solving skills, testing solutions, and refining designs in a collaborative environment. The curriculum emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and innovation through open-ended tasks where students learn to work in teams and safely navigate challenges. Students utilize tools like LEGO® robotics and are exposed to block-based programming. The camp aims to develop a sense of agency and perseverance through struggle, preparing students to apply their knowledge to real-world problems.
