Rube Goldberg- The Simply Complicated Machine
Experience physics firsthand as you surround yourself with the different simple machines such as pulleys, levers, and gears. Collaborate as a class to create a giant machine that triggers an overly complicated chain of events to complete a simple task. Campers will be challenged to create a 20 step machine to execute a very simple goal. The project will be filmed and uploaded to savor for years to come. Teamwork, engineering, ingenuity and persistence will all be utilized here, as campers have fun with this classic physics tradition with a modern LEGO NXT robotics twist. Camp has very limited space, register early. Watch out, you may be inspired to enter the national competition!
Ages: 10-13Y, June 13-17th, 9am-2pm , (5 days, $375) $10/hour before and aftercare available

Robotics Inventor Camp
Invent working products with laptops and robotics! Each day campers will have a new product challenge and must design and implement to achieve specified goals. Learn empathy by designing for your customer as you also film a commercial to advertise your new product. Be an engineer for a day as you strive to meet quantifiable goals. Create a robotics game with your classmates and challenge them in play. Be inspired with a creative brainstorm and collaboration for another project. In this camp there is no one right way to solve a problem, as you learn the benefits and drawbacks of each design iteration. File an application with your original idea to earn a Wizbots Patent. Become a certified inventor by the end of the camp, ready to tackle future challenges!
Ages: 7-10Y, July 5-8, 9am-12pm , (4 days, $180) $10/hour before and aftercare available

Enter an intensive weeklong competition of Wizball. This is Wizbots' version of robot soccer where kids play in teams, program, design, build, and connect Wireless Play Station 2 controllers to their robots. Collaborate with your team to form the winning strategy and then finish your robots in time for the tournament! On the playing field you still need to be focused as victory hangs at a balance at your fingertips and you maneuver your robot for the winning score. The game progresses every day as you try and figure out your opponent's strategy, form your own, modify and improve your robots. The week builds up to a Wizball tournament that will take place at Synapse School Menlo Park
Ages: 9-13Y, August 8-12, 9am-12pm (until 2pm on 12th) (5 days, $275) $10/hour before and aftercare available

Engineering ChallengesCreate and launch catapults, vehicles, and machines as you learn first hand about physics and robotics in this interactive and functional course. See how outcomes differ when you iterate and change elements of engineering design. There will be a new challenge every day, from making machines go fast, accurate, or meet specific goals. Understand the transfer of energy and momentum and how power comes into play. Learn more intricate programming of robots. This course will bring campers a better understanding of how the world works around them so that they may engage in creating better solutions.
