Competition Robotics

2024 Camps - SOLD OUT

Five days of engineering, coding, and robotics. Students will use the engineering design process to design and build a robot to solve missions on a competition style robotics mat. Session 1 and Session 1A focus on motor control whereas Session 2 focuses on sensor use for navigation. Session 1 is not a prerequisite for Session 2.

AGES 7-14

Session 1: June 3-7 9am-12pm

Session 1A: June 17-21 12:30pm-3:30pm

Session 2: July 29-August 2 9am-12pm

Student is activating a lever to lift the heavy weight, using a large gear to small gear ratio.

Mechanical Engineering with LEGO

2024 Camps - SOLD OUT

Students will explore the application of geared systems, 4-bar linkages, projectile motion, and pneumatics. They will also design, build, and test their own solutions to engineering challenges, such as a hand held mixer, a LEGO puncher, and catapults.

AGES 7 - 14

Session 1A: June 10-14 12:30pm-3:30pm

June 24-28 9am-12pm

STEM

2024 Camp - SOLD OUT

In STEM camp, students will build an electromagnet; learn how to read, write, and build simple electrical circuits; design and build an electric motor and design; and 3D-print parts for a motorized STEM project.

AGES 10-15

July 15-19

9:00am-12:00pm

Aerospace

2024 Camp - SOLD OUT

Students in the Aerospace Camp explore structural failure modes and design geometry for stealth aircraft. Students will also design, 3D-print, and test aircraft wings on a 3d printed glider.

AGES 12-15

July 22-26

9am-12pm

What happens at camp?

Code N Bots® engineers use coding and the engineering design process to solve problems in Competition Robotics Camp and develop mechanical engineering and building skills in our Mechanical Engineering Camp. STEM and Aerospace Camps use 3D printing and electronics to solve engineering problems.

All camps are personally taught by Melissa Madsen, a mechanical engineer and competition robotics coach and teacher. To enhance learning outcomes, each camp is limited to 10 students.

Coding, robotics, and math concepts taught at camps may include:

Autonomous robot navigation, color sensors, gyro sensors, motor activation, line squaring, line following, if-then statements, and loops.

Engineering Design Process, gear ratios, properties of simple machines, forces, free body diagrams, and teamwork.

Measuring distance, measuring rotation in degrees, algorithms, arithmetic, and fractions.

What coding language is used?

We use Spike Prime LEGO robotics and LEGO Mindstorms Robotics. Both systems use a block coding software developed by LEGO that is similar to Scratch.

Camper age

Campers work with another camper of similar age and engineering ability for all engineering design projects. Computer Aided Drafting is done independently.
