Las Vegas Summer Robotics Camp

Vex Robotics are available to campers through grades 5th – 8th. We use the Vex Robotics system to show campers the three main components of engineering and robotics. Design, Building, and Programming. These three components are taught over the 5 day period of the camp by experienced mentors that are provided to each team. Vex Robotics uses a metal based system that is easy to put together and manipulate into different parts for the campers robot. This system runs off of a program that lets campers control the robot with a controller. Vex Robotics is the highest system offered to our campers.
