Lab for Robotics Education

Summer Lab 2013

Presented by Amplify

When: Saturday June 29th to Saturday August 17th 2013, 8 weeks
Time: Saturday afternoons from 1-5pm
Location: Amplify’s Brooklyn office – 55 Washington St, Brooklyn NY, 11201
Student Ages: 13-15 yrs
Cost: Free

Each session in The LaRE will be a hands-on learning experience, with an emphasis on learning by doing. Starting from the first session, students will start building their robots, and then proceed to learn Arduino programming to build their own fully-functional robots. Students will be using the same equipment used by professional engineers all around the world.

The classes will provide the basics of computer and electrical engineering, but students will focus on learning how to build. At the core of the program, the students will be responsible for designing and creating a robot using their knowledge of engineering to take them from concept to a sophisticated fully functioning robot.

By the end of the program, students will

• have developed foundational programming skills

• know how to design and build two complete robots using the Arduino microcontroller

• get a chance to present their work to friends, parents, and other professional engineers.

• receive a certificate for completing a summer at The LaRE
