===========================
Land & Sea Robotics Day Camp
We are running our popular "Land & Sea" Robotics camp for 5-8 graders
(sometimes we take on younger students as well if capable).
The camp will run for 8 days: July 9-12 and July 16-19. Camp runs
8:30-12:30 each day.
It is hosted at Natick Army Labs, we receive assistance from Army
engineers, employees and soldiers.
Campers take home a SeaPerch ROV to keep (donated by Army Labs).
We split time between ROVs and Lego NXT projects.
Parents: Please spread the word to age appropriate students/parents
you have or know.
This program is the result of a STEM education partnership with the
US Army Natick Labs and NHS FIRST team RoboNatick who will provide
materials and mentors.
