Welcome to the Search and Rescue Camp! In this camp, apprentices will work in groups to build the VEX IQ Simple Clawbot and discover how to pick up and move objects to safety. They will then learn about the Distance Sensor to detect objects and also explore different claw and arm designs so they can detect and pick up objects that need rescuing!

Start with an idea, awaken it on the screen, and then bring it to life right in front of you. Digital storytelling meets fabrication in this camp, which taps into kids’ creativity across the entire STEAM spectrum. From sports to entertainment, apprentices will start each day with a new theme and follow their imaginations through a series of activities. They’ll use digital art skills and coding to create characters and stories in Scratch Jr., a visual programming language that gives kids their first taste of coding. From there, they’ll bring these characters into the real-world using principles of fabrication. Building mini games to designing graphics – it’s all about sparking ideas and using STEAM principles to tell stories. Come and find the exciting worlds that are waiting to be discovered in your imagination!
