RoboThink utilizes its own proprietary kits, software, and curriculum, designed to grow with students from age 4 to 16, ensuring a consistent and progressive learning experience.
At RoboThink McLean Discovery Center's Robo-Builders' Camp, students embark on an exciting journey into robotics, engineering, and coding. Through hands-on activities, they learn to design, build, and program their own robots using RoboThink's proprietary smart gears and specialized hardware. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills such as connecting motors, batteries, and controllers, understanding how different robot components work together, and mastering logic through block-based coding. Campers engage in weekly themed challenges, including Cyber Security, Eco-bot, and Expedition Mars, fostering creative problem-solving and critical thinking. The program encourages self-discovery and exploration, allowing students to modify and redesign their creations, promoting spatial awareness and persistence. Ultimately, students gain a strong foundation in STEM, preparing them for future academic and career paths in a world increasingly powered by AI and robots.
A typical day involves hands-on building and engineering in the morning, focusing on robot construction and design, followed by an afternoon session dedicated to coding and programming the robots to move and follow commands. Full-day campers have supervised lunch and social time between sessions.
This camp is best for curious makers aged 4-16 who are interested in transforming into future engineers by building, coding, and innovating with robots.
