COURSE DESCRIPTION

Using the official FLL Tournament NXT Base & Resource Sets and NXT 2.1 programming software, students are taught foundational building and programming concepts in preparation for participation on FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Teams. Each student will be provided their own laptop computer for learning in-depth programming concepts as well as creating their own programs for solving specific challenges and missions. Working in teams of two, students will also be taught foundational building and robot design concepts, including navigation and manipulation using sensors, how to test the functionality of their models, problem-solve, etc. This Intro Level Camp also covers Intermediate concepts that are specifically used and expanded upon in our Intermediate Level Camps.

For an optional full-day camp experience, campers can register for afternoon Fencing Camps (the “intellectual sport”) and bring their lunch. Staff from the Rochester Fencing Club will walk campers from the classroom to the cafeteria and then on to the gym for a full day of exercising both mind and body!
