Summer Opportunities

Penn State Behrend Girl's Basketball Camps

IU5 Camps

The IU is offering two student summer camps this year!

Returning for an encore performance, and at a high demand, is ProBots Apprentices. This program will introduce your students (ages 10 - 15) to the basics of programming and robotics utilizing the Scratch and SNAP programming languages and the BirdBrain Technologies of the Finch and Hummingbird.

New this year and highly requested by last year's ProBots alumni is a second level to ProBots titled ProBots Explorers. Students (ages 10 - 15) will develop an understanding of intermediate and advanced programming concepts utilizing a micro-controller board and the Arduino programming language to build an interactive object that involves switches, sensors, lights, motors, and servos.

The remaining student summer program is ConstrX. There are two age bands for this student program, 8 to 11 and 12 to 15 years of age. Combining arts and technology, these students will apply their creativity to solve wacky and exciting challenges. A potpourri of scavenged and recycled materials will be supplied. Through tinkering, your students will engineer and fabricate an end product of their own creation.

The application and Student Summer Camp Flyer is in the link above. Students may register for both ProBots and ConstrX on the same application.
