Instructions For Running a Pre-Engineering Camp

For ages 6-13, a very inexpensive alternative robot camp would be our pre-engineering camps. T-slotted aluminum parts. Easier to obtain parts. Camp would be around 2 hours.

• Materials:

  • 10-20 kids

  • 3 wrenches

  • 20-30 ft of 80/20

  • Nuts and bolts (A healthy amount)

  • 20 wheels

• Introduction get to know names and grades

• Why did you want to do this/ how did you hear about this?

• Give a little information about who we are and what we do/ our story

• Then show the kids the game animation

• Then they get to draw/design their own robot on paper

• BREAK TIME (workshop tour)

• Have the kids discuss/share their robot they designed

• Then build the robots you designed with the 80/20 pieces

• Towards the end have everyone talk about their robots

• For the conclusion, have the kids share their takeaways
