The camp provides hands-on experience with VEX V5 robotics, fostering critical STEM skills and preparing students for potential participation in VEX Robotics competitions.
The PWCS VEX V5 Summer Camp offers middle and high school students an immersive, hands-on experience in robotics. Participants engage in designing, building, and programming VEX V5 robots to tackle various engineering challenges. The curriculum emphasizes developing critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills through practical application. Students will gain experience with VEX V5 hardware, including metal components, motors, and sensors, and learn to program both autonomous and driver-controlled robot behaviors. The camp aims to strengthen engineering notebook skills and provide a foundational understanding of the design process crucial for success in VEX Robotics competitions. It's an opportunity to explore cutting-edge technology and apply real-world problem-solving strategies in a supportive environment.
Camps at Potomac High School run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., while camps at Gainesville Middle School run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.. Students will engage in hands-on design, coding, and engineering challenges with VEX V5 robots.
This camp is ideal for rising 6th through 12th graders who are new to VEX V5 robotics or are looking to develop and refine their foundational to advanced skills.
