Intro to Engineering

Course Description:icon-sports

(Grade 5+ )

In the first part of the camp, students will learn how to use Arduino parts combined with coding to finish couple guided fun projects. After students have the basic knowledge, they will shift gears to design projects in groups using information that they have learned. Students will be given the opportunity to experience the excitement of the whole engineering process – brainstorming, designing, building, and troubleshooting their own products. Through the camp, students not only will gain engineering experiences with real products to bring home, but also will develop their innovational potential and interest, improve their teamwork skills, problem solving strategies and many other lifelong benefits.
