Robotics Day Camp

   

Calling all summer camps and schools! Offer our licensed Carnegie Mellon robotics program to your kids.

Game Crazy will come right to your doorstep and offer our Robotics program to your kids. For schools, day camps can be run during school breaks. For summer camps, we will come to your camp, set everything up and work with the kids to teach them STEM concepts (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) while making it engaging and fun for them to learn. Kids will get immersed in our age appropriate Robotics program and build a variety of robots, from soccer players to animals to humanoids and even sumo bots!

How Can Robotics Help Educate Kids?

The basics of programming, engineering and constructing are all part of our robotics program. By building a variety of simple and complex robots and using our supplied laptops, kids can program the robots, controlling its actions, sounds and responses. All the programming is drag-and-drop, making it easy for kids to get started with little or no programming knowledge. Our program enables students to work as young scientists, engineers, mathematicians and creative writers, providing them with the settings, tools and tasks for completing cross-curricular projects.

Our robotics program provides kids with opportunities to develop these broader learning goals:

      - Think creatively to make a working model.
      - Develop vocabulary and communication skills to explain how the model works.
      - Reflect on how to find answers and imagine new possibilities.
      - Brainstorm ideas and endeavor to bring some of them to fruition.
      - Follow 2D drawings to build 3D models.
      - Think logically to create a program to produce a specific behavior.

Here is how our robotics program teaches core STEM concepts:

Science - Trace the transmission of motion and transfer of energy. Identify the simple machine mechanisms at work in the models, including gears, levers and pulleys and how friction can affect the movement of the model.
Technology - Interpret 2D and 3D illustrations and models. Use software media to acquire information. Demonstrate the knowledge and operation of digital tools and technological systems.
Engineering - Build, program and test the models. Modify a model's behavior by changing the mechanical system or by adding a sensor to provide feedback. Brainstorm to find creative alternative solutions.
Mathematics - Measure time and distance. Understand the concept of randomness. Compare diameter and rotational speed.
