* RoboCamp The RoboCamp summer robotics camp is a one-week day camp that will engage middle and high school students in team, project-oriented activities that utilize laptops and the SumoBot Robot (Produced by Parallax Inc. – www.parallax.com). Activities include creatively programming the robots to draw different shapes and imagery or performing music and dance routines, as well as Sumo competitions. The design of the project activities encourages team exploration as well as independent operations. |
* Xbox Game Programming Camp The Xbox game programming camp is a one-week day camp that will engage middle and high school students in team, project-oriented activities that utilize laptops, XNA Framework (which is provided by Microsoft), and Xbox 360 gaming consoles. Students will learn coding and programming principles and develop an understanding of the role of physics and mathematics in game design. Students will have the opportunity to “play” the games and therefore to see the results of their programming. |
Guidelines:
Registration for these camps will be available on this website beginning on March 15. Each camp is strictly limited to 20 participants on a first come, first served basis. A waiting list will be maintained to facilitate replacement due to cancellations. Please do not register for more than one camp of a particular type to hold slots as we will arbitrarily delete one or both of the registrations. Please also be sure that you register for the appropriate gender camp, where applicable, and again please follow the age guidelines. |
Additional Camp opportunities:
We are also participating in this year’s UNT Grandparents University. This camp is a two day experience for ages 7-12 plus a grandparent. Please visit http://call.unt.edu/lifelonglearning and click on Grandparent’s University for more information. We will not be registering for this event on the Robocamp website. It is being hosted by a different department at UNT, we are just providing some of the activities. |
Camp days will start at 9:00 am and end at 4:00 pm. Lunch and snacks will be provided. Each participant will receive a wealth of study materials, a camp T-Shirt and other souvenirs from these fun and educational programs.
