VEX Robotics Summer Camps Head Coach: VRC Certified CoachLead Teachers: Core team members of VRC 8889 TeamsTeaching Assistants: Members of partnered High School VRC Teams
Camp Location: Lexington, MA
Session 1 (Aug 4th - Aug 8th): FUN-damental Vex Robotics Camp (no experience required)Session 2 (Aug 11th - Aug15th): Advanced Boot Camp (requirement: attended intro camp or have prior VEX experience)
Intro to Vex Robotics FUN-damental Camp (Session 1 )Description: Students will learn robotics fundamentals such as designing, coding and building robots while also gaining insights into engineering processes and developing essential teamwork skills. Price: $549.99 (full payment made by May 4), $599.99 (payment made after May 4)
Time: 9:00 AM-9:30 AM (drop-off); 9:30 AM-3:30 PM (core); 3:30-5:00 PM (free practice)Age: Rising 6th-9th gradersLunch/Snacks: IncludedStyle: Students will be divided into groups based on age and experience. Teachers will first introduce Vex Robotics Competition program. Later students will gain hands on experience of VRC components and learn basic mechanical design, programing and control theories. At the end of the summer camp, students will be able to design, build, program, and drive basic VRC robots to fulfill defined tasks.
Advanced Boot Camp (Session 2) Description: This camp is geared towards students who have prior robotics experience and who are interested in participating in the 2024-2025 VEX Robotics Competition. Limited spots available
Price: $799.99 (full payment made by May 4), $849.99 (payment made after May 4)
Time: 9:00 AM-9:30 AM (drop-off); 9:30 AM-3:30 PM (core); 3:30-5:00 PM (free practice)Age: Rising 7th-10th graders
Lunch/Snacks: Included
Style: A one-week Alliance style camp as a warmup for season 2025-2026. Campers will be divided into teams and work together with teachers and coaches to brainstorm ideas, design, build, code and test new season robots. Campers will go through the engineering process, learn project planning, team work, documentation, troubleshooting, quality control and performing iterative improvement. The camp will end with a practice of judge's interview and a competition between teams. .
Notes: Students from this class are welcome to apply for joining an 8889 team for the 2025-2026 VRC competition season
A portion of the proceeds from this camp will be used to fund robotics events which we will host for the community.
