2024 Summer Camps with Titan Robotics
Enrichment programs are offered in partnership with the Campagna Center's Out-of School Time Programs.
We are excited to once again be able to offer camps for grades 6-9 for no cost thanks to a generous grant from AIM-AHEAD!
Explosions, Collisions, and Catapults!
Grades K-2
$230
July 22-26 | 9AM-12PM
Have a blast learning the science behind explosions, collisions, and catapults while launching projectiles and (safely) blowing things up! This camp is a fun introduction to Newton's Laws and physics, as well as some awesome chemical reactions!
Introduction to Engineering and Robotics
Grades K-2
$230
July 22-26 | 1PM-4PM
Campers will learn the basics of the Engineering design process through project-based learning! Campers will learn through mini-projects and challenges how to design, innovate, and create new things! The week starts as a gentle introduction to fundamental engineering principles and ends with students creating their own LEGO robots!
LEGO Robotics
Grades 3-5
$230
July 8-12 | 9AM-12PM
Campers will construct their own robots out of LEGO! Throughout the week they will compete against each other in a robotics competition, to see who can create the best LEGO robot!
Rocketry
Grades 3-5
$230
July 8-12 | 1PM-4PM
Campers will learn the basics of aerodynamics and rocket physics! Then, they will construct and launch two of their own model rockets! They will learn about the history of rocketry, the chemistry behind rocket engines, and the strategic skills needed to put a person in space! Parents are, of course, welcome to attend the rocket launch, which will be on July 12th.
Intro to Java Programming
Grades 6-9
Scholarship Only
July 15-19 | 9AM-12PM
Learn the inner workings behind popular video games and modern robots! Java is a common programming language with countless applications. Campers will be taught many advanced aspects of Java code. Throughout the week, they will complete mini-projects, as well as working on mini robots.
Mechanical Masters
Grades 6-9
Scholarship Only
July 15-19 | 1PM-4PM
Campers at the Mechanical Masters camp will be taught how to design, plan, and create magnificent projects! Campers will create several projects using the tools in our shop, including their own toolboxes, catapults, wooden mechanisms.
Health Sciences
Grades 6-9
Scholarship Only
July 29 - August 2 | 9AM-12 PM
Discover the mysteries of life with a medical-based twist! Students will love our Health Sciences Camp, offered in collaboration with AIM-AHEAD! Using augmented reality technology, students will be able to see holographic projections of vital functions of the body, observe how organs function, learn the structure of human skeletons, receive hands-on experience with the science of life, and so much more!
All camps are currently full. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please email camps@frc5587.org.
