Robotics Camp
Exciting, hands-on course provides an in-depth
look at designing and building robots and the
various sciences and technologies involved in
this fascinating subject. Various robot types and systems studied, including VEX, Lego Mindstorms NXT, and A-robot.
Start by assembling simple robots to gain a
basic understanding of motors, gears,
locomotion, and power systems, and learn how to follow step-by-step instructions, troubleshoot
problems and use various tools.
Construct more complex
robots involving sensors, motors, remote
control and custom programming in BASIC, NXT-G, NXC, C, Java, etc.
Design robots to solve real-world challenges using analysis and constructive brainstorming techniques. Learn how to create and set up testing environments for accurate simulations, and document your creations.
This course is great for beginners as well as experienced robot builders. If you have attended other robotics courses or own your own VEX or Mindstorms NXT kit and want to push the envelope with more advanced designs, custom programming, and even learning how to safely interface custom built circuits and build homebrew sensor implementations, then this is the course for you!
Practical hands-on application of electronic engineering principles and concepts: Construct electronic circuits to perform numerous
experiments with light, sound and motion to
learn about transformers, relays, generators,
solar power, displays, transistors, diodes,
series/parallel circuits, radios, resistance, capacitance
and semiconductors.
Delve into software engineering principles and concepts: More advanced students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of C-language, used for programming the VEX and advanced Mindstorms NXT (NBC and NXC languages) and Java.
Attendees may have the opportunity to join our FIRST Lego League team for the September to January competition season.
This is simply the most thorough and advanced course you will find. Join our experienced instructor with extensive
HW/SW background, assisted by robotics team
members from UC Berkeley and Lynbrook High Robotics Champions!

Robotics Camp
Exciting, hands-on course provides an in-depth
look at designing and building robots and the
various sciences and technologies involved in
this fascinating subject. Various robot types and systems studied, including VEX, Lego Mindstorms NXT, and A-robot.
Start by assembling simple robots to gain a
basic understanding of motors, gears,
locomotion, and power systems, and learn how to follow step-by-step instructions, troubleshoot
problems and use various tools.
Construct more complex
robots involving sensors, motors, remote
control and custom programming in BASIC, NXT-G, NXC, C, Java, etc.
Design robots to solve real-world challenges using analysis and constructive brainstorming techniques. Learn how to create and set up testing environments for accurate simulations, and document your creations.
This course is great for beginners as well as experienced robot builders. If you have attended other robotics courses or own your own VEX or Mindstorms NXT kit and want to push the envelope with more advanced designs, custom programming, and even learning how to safely interface custom built circuits and build homebrew sensor implementations, then this is the course for you!
Practical hands-on application of electronic engineering principles and concepts: Construct electronic circuits to perform numerous
experiments with light, sound and motion to
learn about transformers, relays, generators,
solar power, displays, transistors, diodes,
series/parallel circuits, radios, resistance, capacitance
and semiconductors.
Delve into software engineering principles and concepts: More advanced students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of C-language, used for programming the VEX and advanced Mindstorms NXT (NBC and NXC languages) and Java.
Attendees may have the opportunity to join our FIRST Lego League team for the September to January competition season.
This is simply the most thorough and advanced course you will find. Join our experienced instructor with extensive
HW/SW background, assisted by robotics team
members from UC Berkeley and Lynbrook High Robotics Champions!

Robotics Camp
Exciting, hands-on course provides an in-depth
look at designing and building robots and the
various sciences and technologies involved in
this fascinating subject. Various robot types and systems studied, including VEX, Lego Mindstorms NXT, and A-robot.
Start by assembling simple robots to gain a
basic understanding of motors, gears,
locomotion, and power systems, and learn how to follow step-by-step instructions, troubleshoot
problems and use various tools.
Construct more complex
robots involving sensors, motors, remote
control and custom programming in BASIC, NXT-G, NXC, C, Java, etc.
Design robots to solve real-world challenges using analysis and constructive brainstorming techniques. Learn how to create and set up testing environments for accurate simulations, and document your creations.
This course is great for beginners as well as experienced robot builders. If you have attended other robotics courses or own your own VEX or Mindstorms NXT kit and want to push the envelope with more advanced designs, custom programming, and even learning how to safely interface custom built circuits and build homebrew sensor implementations, then this is the course for you!
Practical hands-on application of electronic engineering principles and concepts: Construct electronic circuits to perform numerous
experiments with light, sound and motion to
learn about transformers, relays, generators,
solar power, displays, transistors, diodes,
series/parallel circuits, radios, resistance, capacitance
and semiconductors.
Delve into software engineering principles and concepts: More advanced students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of C-language, used for programming the VEX and advanced Mindstorms NXT (NBC and NXC languages) and Java.
Attendees may have the opportunity to join our FIRST Lego League team for the September to January competition season.
This is simply the most thorough and advanced course you will find. Join our experienced instructor with extensive
HW/SW background, assisted by robotics team
members from UC Berkeley and Lynbrook High Robotics Champions!

Robotics Camp
Exciting, hands-on course provides an in-depth
look at designing and building robots and the
various sciences and technologies involved in
this fascinating subject. Various robot types and systems studied, including VEX, Lego Mindstorms NXT, and A-robot.
Start by assembling simple robots to gain a
basic understanding of motors, gears,
locomotion, and power systems, and learn how to follow step-by-step instructions, troubleshoot
problems and use various tools.
Construct more complex
robots involving sensors, motors, remote
control and custom programming in BASIC, NXT-G, NXC, C, Java, etc.
Design robots to solve real-world challenges using analysis and constructive brainstorming techniques. Learn how to create and set up testing environments for accurate simulations, and document your creations.
This course is great for beginners as well as experienced robot builders. If you have attended other robotics courses or own your own VEX or Mindstorms NXT kit and want to push the envelope with more advanced designs, custom programming, and even learning how to safely interface custom built circuits and build homebrew sensor implementations, then this is the course for you!
Practical hands-on application of electronic engineering principles and concepts: Construct electronic circuits to perform numerous
experiments with light, sound and motion to
learn about transformers, relays, generators,
solar power, displays, transistors, diodes,
series/parallel circuits, radios, resistance, capacitance
and semiconductors.
Delve into software engineering principles and concepts: More advanced students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of C-language, used for programming the VEX and advanced Mindstorms NXT (NBC and NXC languages) and Java.
Attendees may have the opportunity to join our FIRST Lego League team for the September to January competition season.
This is simply the most thorough and advanced course you will find. Join our experienced instructor with extensive
HW/SW background, assisted by robotics team
members from UC Berkeley and Lynbrook High Robotics Champions!

Robotics Camp
Exciting, hands-on course provides an in-depth
look at designing and building robots and the
various sciences and technologies involved in
this fascinating subject. Various robot types and systems studied, including VEX, Lego Mindstorms NXT, and A-robot.
Start by assembling simple robots to gain a
basic understanding of motors, gears,
locomotion, and power systems, and learn how to follow step-by-step instructions, troubleshoot
problems and use various tools.
Construct more complex
robots involving sensors, motors, remote
control and custom programming in BASIC, NXT-G, NXC, C, Java, etc.
Design robots to solve real-world challenges using analysis and constructive brainstorming techniques. Learn how to create and set up testing environments for accurate simulations, and document your creations.
This course is great for beginners as well as experienced robot builders. If you have attended other robotics courses or own your own VEX or Mindstorms NXT kit and want to push the envelope with more advanced designs, custom programming, and even learning how to safely interface custom built circuits and build homebrew sensor implementations, then this is the course for you!
Practical hands-on application of electronic engineering principles and concepts: Construct electronic circuits to perform numerous
experiments with light, sound and motion to
learn about transformers, relays, generators,
solar power, displays, transistors, diodes,
series/parallel circuits, radios, resistance, capacitance
and semiconductors.
Delve into software engineering principles and concepts: More advanced students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of C-language, used for programming the VEX and advanced Mindstorms NXT (NBC and NXC languages) and Java.
Attendees may have the opportunity to join our FIRST Lego League team for the September to January competition season.
This is simply the most thorough and advanced course you will find. Join our experienced instructor with extensive
HW/SW background, assisted by robotics team
