Description:

Designed for open ended play, this program lets children create any experience through educational robotics- a humanoid character from a story, a moving carousel, a jumping frog, a race helicopter- anything they can imagine. Children engage in playful learning, cultivate their curiosity for the technological world, explore problem solving and understand concepts such as sequencing, coding, cause and effect, programming, sensors, motors, gears and actuators. This is an engaging introduction to powerful ideas from robotics, computer science, and engineering in a structured, developmentally appropriate paradigm. Children are given the opportunity to learn programming, sequencing and engineering concepts without the need for a screen or tablet. Additionally, our program also appeals to children who are not Lego enthusiasts and to those children that have limited reading and writing skills. After being immersed in this program, young children will be able to engage in both computational thinking and engineering design while creating their personalized robots. Our facilitated workshop integrates the use of art materials, literacy, music and dance through robotics to deliver a unique and fun activity. 

Children will participate in morning camp activities, such as games, crafts and water play at Windsor park. In the afternoon staff will accompany them to the Firehall for the Robotics instruction. Pick up is at the Firehall at 4:00pm unless in aftercare.
