I am pleased to announce my second annual Lego Mindstorm Robotics summer camp for homeschool and traditional schooled students. By hosting a similar camp last year for students, I discovered the excitement of teaching and the reward of seeing the camper’s robotic knowledge flourish and the team work between the campers develop and mature. One of my campers commented, “It was the best time of my summer.”

"I enjoyed watching the excitement on the final day, as the kids waited with anticipation to see if their Robotics car would successfully go through the course. The teams enthusiasm also impressed me and how they learned by working together to be successful." Mrs. Cotton, mother of 2011 camper.
