Challenge 2:00 pm -4:00 pm 5-8 Workshop 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm 5-8 This fun and educational computer program gives students their first experience on creating a 3-dimensional model on computer software. It helps students learn how to create a project before even picking up an actual Lego block. Students attain a great advantage here when they go on into the FIRSTEP Lego Challenge. Take the next step forward by creating an actual Lego robot that will complete a specially designed task. This challenge gives students a better understanding of basing building skills, and this program is also used to teach the basic programming skills using an easy drag-and-drop method of programming offered to us by Lego Mindstorms. This program teaches students the fundamentals of the Autodesk Inventor program. This tool is taught in a class called Introduction to Engineering and Design (I.E.D.), which is a college-level class taught to high school students who want to go into fields like design, engineering, and science. This is an easy-to-learn program that can be learned in a matter of days. Having students become familiar this program at an earlier age will set them up for success when it comes to taking this class at the high school. At the end of this program, students will be able to bring home a 3-dimensional object that they themselves created on this program. This is possible by using our 3-dimensional solid object printer we have at the high school. It will take whatever the student made in Inventor and print it out layer by layer to a physical object. This challenge gives students a first-hand experience of a robotics competition in a scaled-down version. In this challenge, students get one week to create a controllable robot to compete in a certain challenge just like the TechHOUNDS Robotics Team. This challenge is very similar to the actual robotics competitions where the students have a limited amount of time to create a robot. In the actual competition, we have only six weeks to construct a working robot. This challenge helps students wanting to join the robotics team when they come to high school, as well as those who just want to learn basic skills in brainstorming, design, and building. This activity gives students the knowledge of how to operate power tools we use to create the robot during our build season. We teach these students the proper way to handle tools such as the drill press and the band saw. In this activity, students will create something to take home and use when the camp is over. |
