In this class students will learn the safe operation and daily maintenance of the vertical knee milling machine. Students will do some manual machining and some simple programming, and will observe some CNC Machining in action. Students must tie back long hair, wear short sleeves, long pants and wear closed toe shoes.
This camp allows students to learn Computer Aided Design (CAD) and print their own designed parts. Students will learn to CAD in OnShape, and learn the basics of 2D drawing and sketching. They will learn to create 3D models from engineering drawings and create assemblies of basic parts.
Join our in-house origami expert for a week of paper-folding fun. For beginners we will cover basic shapes and fun patterns. More advanced students will cover tessellation and the application of origami to engineering structures.
In this course, students will be guided through the fundamentals of robotic drive trains and mechanisms and the associated programming skills required. The course is self-paced and led by our high-school experts and can accomodate different levels of experience.
Designed for beginners, this introductory class will expose students to the basics of machining and metal fabrication using the lathe, including facing, turning and drilling. Students must tie back long hair, wear short sleeves, long pants and wear closed toe shoes.
On the surface, Minecraft seems like a simple game. The Minecraft world is large, open-ended and full of hostile creatures. You must mine stone, chop wood, build shelter, grow food, and build weapons to survive. But to move on to large and complex building projects, a community of Minecrafters must work together. As a group, students will design and plan a city. Students will establish rules and conventions, cooperate with each other, manage scarce resources and create divisions of labor. In this camp we will all play vanilla Minecraft on our own server. The world will be fresh, and as a group we will decide what to build. And most importantly - have some summer fun!
Designed for little roboteers (grades K-3) , this class will cover the basics of programming, sensors, actuators and simple machines. There will be lots of time for play with our high school students and Legos!
Students will learn the basics of Java programming including console I/O, conditionals, loops, arrays and lists. Students will progress through a self-paced course with assistance from our advanced high school programmers. The course is appropriate for beginners and intermediate programmers.
