Invention: Maker, Virtual Reality and Robotics
Camp Sessions
Maker Camp
Rising 4th-6th (Co-Ed)
June 5 - 9
Fee: $425 per session/Limited Enrollment
Spend a week learning what it takes to be a "maker". We will learn about 3D printing, laser cutting, electronics, and robots. Students will design and 3d print an object, make a sign using the glowforge, build a circuit, and spend a day focusing on robotics. Each day of camp will split time between McCallie’s Innovation Lab and the Engineering Lab. We believe anyone can be an inventor! Campers will also have time at the McCallie lake and game room at the end of the day!
Robotics Camp
Rising 4th-6th (Co-Ed)
