Event Details

Registration for Learning Robotics with Arts and Crafts will open at 9:00AM on Wednesday, June 4th for Manheim Township and East Lampeter residents and on Wednesday, June 11th for residents of other municipalities.

This arts and crafts program combines creativity with engineering as participants explore the basics of robotics through hands-on projects. On different evenings, the campers will build and decorate their own simple walking robot or create robotic hands and linkages while learning how robots are designed, assembled, and refined.

Participants will develop problem-solving skills, ignite their curiosity, and gain an introductory understanding of robotics—all within a fun and creative environment. The program provides practical experience in constructing robotic creations and lays a foundation for future exploration and potential careers in the dynamic, rapidly evolving field of robotics. 

Please note: Projects will be similar to those from the 2024 Summer Robotics Camp.
