They are allowed to take pictures with prior approval.

Q8. We do not have a Mindstorms - nor have we played with one - is that a concern?
A. No prior experience necessary. Kids use Mathobotix component library for their projects. The labs have computers installed with the necessary software for programming.

Q9. We've been to a Lego - Engineering camp before offered by a different organization and were disappointed in what the kids actually learned. Do you have a list of learning objectives I can preview?
A. Mathobotix summer camp is based on our regular after-school integrated STEM curriculum. Our camp gives a quick sampling experience of our project-based STEM curriculum framework, methods and materials. Parents and researchers can learn more by attending one of our monthly open houses or by meeting with our program director. Please request an appointment via eMail info@mathobotix.com

Q19. Are 14 yr olds are in the same "classroom" as 6 yr olds?
A.

The camp is run in a lab environment. Our STEM mentors help the campers with their projects and missions in the lab.

Campers work in age/grade based teams.

Robotic projects are scalable. For example, lower grade campers build robots that are simple that involve basic programming and applications. Higher graders build them with sensors and make them perform incrementally more complex and advanced level missions and games.

Mathobotix project based curriculum is used in our camps and classes.
