Sponsored by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Bechtel Group Foundation, this day camp introduces middle and high school students to the exciting world of robotics. During the course of ROBOT CAMP, students learn to solder and program in Basic as they take a box 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.

The camp will culminate in an exhibition for parents and the public at the Schenectady Museum where students will showcase their robots.

Summer 2013 dates: Monday July 8 to Friday July 12, 2013
