Calling all technology sleuths! If you are interested in robotics and engineering then this camp is for you! Students, rising 7th through 8th grade, will uncover marine technology through hands-on activities including how to build a simple robot, solder components on a circuit board, design and build a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for a mini competition, and much more!! In this 4-day, 3-night camp students will bring out their inner deTECHtive to discover ‘what is technology?’.
The camp will feature various hands-on group activities encouraging students to think like an engineer. The stakes are high as they design, build and test various technologies in preparation for an underwater robot challenge.
**Program Cost:**The total cost of this program is $450 and includes tuition, room, meals, and lab fees.
The $100 registration fee is part of the program cost and is non-refundable.
The next payment of $100 is due when the camp release forms are returned. A balance of $250 is due two weeks prior to check-in.
