Campers learn robotic design and basic computer programming by building and animating their own RoboPets using LEGO® bricks and iPads.
In Snapology's RoboPets Camp, young campers aged 4-7 embark on an exciting journey into the world of robotics by constructing moving animals using LEGO® WeDo 2.0 robotic sets and iPads. The camp introduces fundamental robotic design concepts, including the function of gears and pulleys in creating movement. Through hands-on activities, children learn about animal habitats while building various robotic creatures like dancing birds and robotic dogs. The curriculum integrates academic enrichment, focusing on an introduction to computer programming, pseudo-coding, sensor input, and mechanics. Campers are encouraged to develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and inventiveness through playful challenges. The camp also incorporates stories, songs, games, and art activities to enhance learning about animals.
A typical day involves building and programming robotic animals using LEGO® WeDo 2.0 sets and iPads, exploring concepts like gears and pulleys, and engaging in animal-themed stories, songs, games, and art activities.
This camp is best for young children aged 4-7 who are curious about animals and interested in a playful introduction to robotics and basic computer programming.
