Course Description
WaterBotics with Mindstorms (ages 11-15)
Price varies by location
WaterBotics is an innovative, underwater robotics camp curriculum. Teams of students work together to design, build, test and redesign underwater robots, made of LEGO® and other components. Students engage in a series of design challenges or “missions” that gradually increases in complexity and ultimately leads to a fully functional underwater robot capable of maneuvering in a three-foot deep pool. This introduces students to the concept of iterative design and demonstrates the value of testing and redesign
