Sponsored by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and KAPL/Lockheed Martin, this day camp introduces middle and high school students to the exciting world of robotics. During the course of ROBOT CAMP 1: Rover, students learn to solder and program in Basic as they take a bag of parts and transform it into a working robot. The camp also includes sessions on robotics in general, and demonstrations of robots developed at Union College.

Additionally we offer ROBOT CAMP 2: BiPed. This day camp has been designed for the advanced student who has already enrolled in Robot Camp 1 or has sufficient proficiency and experience with the subject. Using a Biped Robot, students will continue their investigation into robotics, diving deeper into mechanics, electronics, programming, and robotic art.

Both camps will culminate in two exhibitions for parents and the public at the Schenectady Museum where students will showcase their robots.
