Our team has acquired a lot of practical knowledge over the years about robotics and, more importantly, how to teach it in a way that students will understand. Our senior members strive to give their knowledge back to the community by holding robotics camps and classes geared for children age 7-15. Students who attend will learn how to design, build and program a working NXT robot, and in the conclusion of the class they will even be able to use their new-found skills to pit their robots against those of the other students in a miniature competition. Students will also be introduced to the world of the "FIRST Lego League", a worldwide robotics competition geared towards middle-school aged students, and they will be given tips by the team whose robot has placed 1st in the competition two years in a row.
