The camp uniquely combines LEGO EV3 robotics, Minecraft challenges, and stop-motion animation, all inspired by video games, to provide a diverse and engaging STEM learning experience.
In the "Ready Player One" camp, students aged 9-13 will engage in hands-on STEM activities inspired by video games. They will construct and program LEGO EV3 robots using axles, gears, and motors to complete missions on a Minecraft Overworld challenge mat, such as collecting material blocks and neutralizing mobs. This fosters problem-solving, communication, and teamwork. Additionally, students will participate in LEGO-based mini-challenges to enhance creativity. In the afternoons, they will produce their own LEGO stop-motion animations, developing plots, building sets, capturing images, and editing films with music, titles, and credits using professional software. The program also includes learning various Minecraft Command Generators to design and create structures like a MEGA Minecraft Roller Coaster or Parkour obstacle course.
A typical day includes check-in and free build, a motorized LEGO build, snack/recess, a LEGO building challenge, lunch/recess, LEGO stop motion animation, and a mini LEGO build before parent pick-up.
This camp is ideal for students who enjoy LEGO building, robotics, Minecraft, and stop-motion animation, and who are interested in developing problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills in a fun, engaging STEM environment.
