Learning Standards:

Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning (PK.S.1)

PK.S.1.1: Campers will be encouraged to ask questions about woodworking materials and predict outcomes during small-scale projects, fostering curiosity and scientific reasoning.

PK.S.1.3: Campers will actively explore woodworking materials through hands-on experimentation, understanding the scientific principles behind drilling, hammering, and sanding.

Engineering Design Process (PK.ETS1)

PK.ETS1.1: Campers will identify problems, such as how to construct large-scale Olympic sport-inspired games, and brainstorm solutions through the engineering design process.

PK.ETS1.2: Campers will explore multiple solutions by actively experimenting with different approaches while building their Olympic-inspired woodworking projects.

Physical Development and Health (PK.PDH.1)

PK.PDH.1.1: Campers will develop fine motor skills by drilling, hammering, and sanding during small-scale woodworking projects.

Social-Emotional Development (PK.SED.4.2)

PK.SED.4.2: Campers will collaborate in teams to build large-scale Olympic sport-inspired games, learning teamwork, perseverance, and social-emotional skills.

Approaches to Learning (PK.AL.4)

PK.AL.4: Campers will exhibit curiosity and willingness to learn new skills by participating in scaffolded woodworking projects and discovering the fascinating world of Olympic sports.

Internet of Things (IoT) Inventors: Smart Robots for a Smarter World!

Imagine if you could walk into a room and it instantly transformed into your ideal living space without you needing to even raise a finger? Step inside this augmented classroom that comes to life as lights, machines, and furniture react to your every move and communicate wirelessly to create the ultimate smart environment. Using the Internet of Things technology and wireless communication, you’ll be the one programming these sensor systems and deciding how they respond in real time. Whether you want the most luxurious living space, intelligent automatic chore robots, or advanced security, you’ll discover the limitless ways to upgrade normal classrooms into futuristic smart spaces. With unlimited possibilities, how smart can you make your customized world?

Campers Will:

  • Design connected IoT systems using sensors and wireless communication to control how robots and devices respond to people and their environment.
  • Program sensor system logic that allows multiple sensors to share data, trigger actions, and operate together as one smart environment.
  • Transform their classroom into a fully augmented smart environment, deciding the purpose and goals of each robotic system they design and connect.
