Overview
Gadget-Games & Mini-Bots is an exciting week where students build gadgets, wire circuits, and engineer their own programmable robots. Using micro:bit and MakeCode, campers learn how power, inputs, and outputs work together to create motion, light, and sound. Each day introduces new abilities—adding sensors, refining structure, and coding more advanced behaviors. Campers test designs, solve problems, and prepare for the final-day Mini-Bot Games, where they race, navigate challenges, and present the code that makes their bot unique. Guided by a low 1:7 instructor ratio, every student gets plenty of hands-on support.
