Come and learn how to design and CAD robots for FIRST Tech Challenge. During our two-week camp, learn AutoDesk Fusion 360 as you design, 3D model, and then build solutions to robot challenges. The intent of this camp is to prepare campers for roles on robotics teams by giving them hands-on experience tackling fun challenges. This camp teaches specific skills needed to 3D design as a part of a FIRST Tech Challenge team, but is also fun and valuable by itself. Space is limited. Taught by: Waring Robotics Summer camps are staffed by alumni and current members of Wolfpack Machina, Waring’s varsity FTC team. Wolfpack Machina holds the world record high score for the FTC, Ultimate Goal (2020-2021) season. It’s members also hold the world record high score for the City Shaper season of FLL (2019-2020). They love robotics and are passionate about sharing it.

During our three-week camp campers will learn how to program in Java and use Java to control a FIRST Tech Challenge robot. By the end of the 3 weeks, campers will program the robots to both move autonomously, based on sensor input, as well as to operate based on input from a remote control. To participate in this camp, campers must complete Learn Java (from Codecademy), a free programming course before the first day of the camp. This preparatory work could take 15-20 hours, depending on experience level, so please plan ahead.

The Cambridge Science Festival Robot Zoo is returning in 2022 with a date of Sunday, October 9th.  The Brainstormers and several MA FIRST Tech Challenge(FTC) teams will be demonstrating their robots using the Freight Frenzy game.  This has been a really fun event in the past – both to run robots again on the game field and collaborate, and to show the public what FTC is all about.  Our group is usually the most visited part of the Robot Zoo with about 10,000 people coming through!  See full details on the event at:  https://cambridgesciencefestival.org/
