CAMP BASICS:
ARTBotics… a fusion in coding, crafting, and invention, using the Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kit!
Create and code a robot that moves, lights up, makes you laugh, and challenges you to be inventive. Each camper will design and decorate a 3 D piece of art using recycled materials, then wire a controller with LEDs, motors, and sensors. Our daily challenge is to make the bot come ALIVE! Our projects will include art skills, inventing, crafting, and basic block programming using MakeCode.
* This camp is intended for coding beginners. More experienced coders are welcome to join the group, but some lessons may be below their skill level.
