(AM) Strawbees Robotics

In this updated version of our popular Strawbees camp, creations come alive with the power of robotics! Strawbees is an intuitive and fun build system allowing students to construct all manner of structures using simple drinking straws. In this updated version of the camp, Strawbees builds come alive by adding the micro:bit - a tiny programmable computer which can respond to motion, temperature, light, or touch. The small micro:bit is perfect for teaching programming principles in the "real world" - not just on a computer screen. Can campers build a greenhouse which changes based upon exposure to light and temperature, or a skyscraper with a weather beacon, or a self-adjusting solar panel? These challenges and more combine the hands-on building kids love with valuable technological and problem-solving skills.
