Campers learn real programming concepts away from tablets and computers using VEX Coder and Coder Cards, progressing to VEXcode with drag-and-drop blocks.
In JR Robotics: Programming with VEX 123, young campers dive into the exciting world of robotics and engineering using the VEX 123 robot system. Through hands-on activities and guided exploration, students learn how robots move, follow commands, and solve challenges. The curriculum progresses from simple robot control to block-based programming, enabling campers to program their robots to complete missions and navigate obstacle courses. This camp fosters the development of foundational STEM skills, including creative problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking. Campers will gain practical experience in designing, building, and programming robots to tackle real-world-inspired tasks.
A typical day involves campers engaging in hands-on activities to program VEX 123 robots, learning to control their movements, navigate obstacle courses, and solve challenges.
This camp is perfect for younger learners aged 7-9 who are eager to explore STEM, robotics, and coding in a fun and engaging way.
