The camp offers a unique blend of mBot2 robot design and programming with drone quadcopter piloting, providing a comprehensive introduction to both aerial and ground robotics.
The Philadelphia School STEAM – Robotics and Drone Camp offers an immersive, hands-on experience where campers design, build, and program autonomous mBot2 robots. They delve into how robots perceive, sense, and navigate their environment, utilizing data from sensors to solve problems through practical coding and experimentation. The camp also provides extensive training in piloting drone quadcopters, allowing students to master flight physics, precision navigation, and execute complex aerial maneuvers. Through engaging challenges and missions, participants develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical skills in a supportive and fun environment. The curriculum emphasizes real-world STEM applications, an introduction to drone safety and FAA regulations, and understanding the entrepreneurial potential of drone technology. Campers will gain confidence and teamwork abilities while exploring one of today's fastest-growing industries.
A typical day involves engaging in two different engineering and architectural projects, starting with an introduction and presentation by the instructor, followed by design and building assignments using LEGO® parts.
This camp is ideal for aspiring engineers, inventors, and tech enthusiasts who enjoy hands-on projects and challenges, regardless of prior experience.
