Campus to Create Multirobot Getxo 5 Days 7-9 Years

There is nothing more fun than building a robot and having it fulfill various functions, each one more impressive, up to a total of five. And there is nothing more exciting than your parents knowing that you have been the architects of such a feat. Because putting together a robot made up of 173 blocks may seem easy but it is not, far from it.

And because people often believe, mistakenly, that it simply consists of following an instruction manual and inserting pieces one after another, just as they appear in the instructions for making a Nanoblock monument or a, say, model airplane helicopter. Which, of course, especially the second, entails enormous difficulty.

Behind the manufacturing of a robot there is work that involves hours, of great effort, with the use of programming and robotics applications. We want you to be direct witnesses of this process, and not only to witness it but to be part of the team in charge of giving birth to the multifunction machine.

Thus, for children with ages between 7 and 9 years old, we are going to make a camp of summer, held in the month of July, oriented towards this purpose: to build a robot that can take five different forms depending on of the assembly we have made: from a mobile catapult to a gripper robot to an elevator.

The possibilities are different and they all entail different learning. Write down the dates, because from July 3 to 7 or from July 17 to 21 the camp will begin over five days most originalthat has ever existed. A workshop taught by teachers with official qualifications, experts in the field, for five hours a day in which they will learn basic robotics concepts.

Also remember that, exceptionally, children aged 5 to 6 can come as long as they know how to read. On the other hand, don't forget that the camp takes place in the Cerebrito Pérez facilities, a store located in the neighborhood of Algorta in Getxo, Vizcaya.

Finally, note, as we said at the beginning, that for the robot to be mobile, the children will have to learn to program with MakeCode andThey will be controlled by means of a Micro:bit board associated, in turn, with the 2 motors and the servo of the machine. All that and much more awaits you in this intensive course of complementary training.

What sounds good? Don't think about it for a second.
