General Camp
Inanimate Reason Robotics Day Camp
The expanding industry of science and technology influences your child every day . Whether they are at school or at home , new and exciting electronics are constantly introduced to them . Wouldn ’ t it be great if they knew exactly how it all worked ? At Inanimate Reason , campers between the ages 6 and 14 years old will delve into art science and technology , and walk away with a grasp of the design of technology . They will be split up in groups depending on age and level of experience . Campers will then build Lego robotics to complete challenges and missions , while sometimes in a competitive atmosphere . Each camper will gain a wealth of knowledge in engineering , programming , critical thinking , and teamwork , all while having a blast in the process . They have the freedom to explore at their own pace an entire world that is sure to fascinate them , while clueless of its educational content . Sign your child up for this day camp , and you will have an earful of stories waiting for you when they finish each day .
