Your robotics fee goes towards our clubs at the middle and high school. Boys AND girls participating in Engineering experiences. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HZR High School students will be assisting at our summer camps.
One Application for all levels any questions? cputnam@bcps.org ====================================================== -our camps are open to any child, not just Baltimore County students. Each year we have boys and girls, homeschool, private school, and children from other counties attend our camps.
The cost for each camp is: $200 =========================================== - VEX IQ level 1 robotics incoming grades 5,6,7, vex IQ robot system # of participants will be limited Campers will work on the following: - autonomous programming using robotC -intro to the new VEX IQ game for 2019-20 - intro to basic construction, last 2 days we will build and compete in a summer camp competition =========================================== - VEX IQ level 2 robotics incoming grades 6,7, vex IQ robot system # of participants will be limited Campers will work on the following: - autonomous programming using robotC but focus on sensors and advanced programming -intro to the new VEX IQ game for 2019-20 - concepts covered including Engineering Notebook, simulations/Robot Virtual World, and CAD drawing to plan robot designs - intro to basic construction, last 2 days we will build and compete in a summer camp competition =========================================== VEX EDR metal Robotics incoming grades 8-12, VEX EDR metal robot system Campers will work on the following: -introduction to hands on with metal parts, motors, chain, chassis, tower, basics of intake and lift - autonomous and controller/competition template programming using robotC -intro to the new VEX VRC game for 2019-20 - intro to basic construction, chassis, drive train, tower, arm and other lift and intake systems will be investigated Some important concepts learned through hands on experience are force and motion, Newton’s Laws, technology systems, design and problem solving, mechanical advantage, engineering design, gear ratios, circumference, geometric modeling, teamwork and lots more! =========================================== Maker Camp Summer Maker Camp at Hereford High will be offered to elementary school and middle school students in order to foster an early interest in technology and engineering. The camp will be made available to a total of 14 students. The goal is to have a counselor: camper ratio of 1:3. This will ratio will allow all campers (and counselors) to feel a sense of success. This camp is not just about education, it is about having fun too! Contact: Mike Doddo mdoddo@bcps.org
Summer Maker Camp at Hereford High will be held in the Technology Education the IDEA Labs, (AKA Digital Manufacturing Lab, Maker Space) as part of a community outreach program of Hereford National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) and Hereford Zone Robotics(HZR). Attendees will learn the use of various computer design programs and the process of fabrication using a Laser Engraver, 3D Printers, and a CNC Machine. Attendees will make a number of take home models of their choosing.
The IDEA Lab is the home of Herefords’ digital fabrication Makerspace. IDEA is the acronym for Imagine, Design, Engineer, Achieve. The Hereford IDEA Lab is a technical prototyping Makerspace for innovation and invention, providing stimulus for local entrepreneurship. IDEA Fab Lab is also a platform for learning and innovation: a place to play, to create, to learn, to mentor, to invent. The IDEA Lab allows students to turn an idea into a functioning model quickly and efficiently using computers, 3d printers, laser engraver and a CNC machine. This is ‘making’ at it’s best! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2015 Level 2 camp photos >> clickHERE 2015 Level 2 final day camp tournament video > clickHERE 2015 Level 1 camp day5 photos >> clickHERE 2015 Level 1 camp photos >> clickHERE Check out 2014 camp photos >> clickHERE Check out BCPS photos from 2013 camp! >> clickHERE 2013 - photos page FINAL DAY of Camp photos 2012 - photos page 2011- Camp Photos 2011 2011- Final Day Camp photos!
