At STAR (Students, Technology, and Robots) Camp, students work in teams of two to build, program, engineer, and operate a VEX robot. Throughout the week-long day camp, they rotate through the advanced manufacturing programs at the college while learning how welding, machine tool technology, mechanical design, and electronics relate to robotics. They also are partnered with a college age mentor throughout the week. One day is spend touring a local manufacturer where they see robotics in action. The final day of the camp is spent in friendly competition with family and friends invited to attend and see what the students have learned. Open to students ages 12-14, with room for 32 students.
