Kids LEGO Robotics Camp Teaches How to Code and Build Robots
June 29 at 10:04 a.m.
The Andrews Center offered their first Lego Robotics Camp for 4th-6th graders the
week of June 20-24. With a full class of 16, the students worked in teams of two to
learn about coding and building robots during the five day morning camp.
The Andrews Center had partnered with Southside Elementary during the school year
for a robotics program for 4th and 5th graders that they received courtesy of an AT
& T grant received by the Bradford County Education Foundation.
This partnership led to Dan Wells agreeing to lead the summer LEGO Robotics camp at
the Andrews Center. The program is coordinated by the Andrews Center Director, Cheryl
Canova, and is a Community Ed program. Thanks to our SF Dean of Centers, Cheryl Calhoun, for writing a grant that provided
eight laptops for the Andrews Center to use for this program and other SF classes,
and for the Perkins Rural and Sparsely Grant that allowed us to purchase the Lego
Robotics kits.
A big thank you to our Counselors in Training, who are SF dual enrolled students,
who volunteered during the week. The program was a great success and the students
had a blast!!
There will be another LEGO Robotics camp the week of July 18 – 22 for grades 4th – 9th from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Seats are still available.
Register through Community Ed or at the Andrews Center. Cost is $89 for the week.
