Our Introduction to VEX IQ Robotics and Mini-Competition 4 day summer camp is perfect for 4-7th grade students interested in STEM and engineering! Working in small teams, students design and build their own VEX IQ robot. On Day 4, teams get to face off in an half-day mini-tournament where the ultimate champion will be crowned!
June 18-20, Tue-Wed-Thur 1:30-5:30pm
Our Introduction to 3D Modeling and Computer Aided Design camps for 7-9th grade students is the perfect way to get started in CAD and 3D printing! This course is a pre-requisite to our Jr Bots Combat Robotics Training class unless the student has previous 3D design/CAD experience.
Our 3D Design and Modeling summer camps are led current and former PART combat team members.
Learn about the basic functions of 3D modeling and CAD software as you use sketches, shapes, extrusions to create your own basic keychain on day 1, and see it come to life on the 3D printer. And design and make your own robot figure or other creation on day 2!
Recommended: student provides their own laptop or Chromebook capable of using OnShape.

This summer camp is tailored for 4th - 7th graders who have experience with VEX IQ, allowing them to build and program their own IQ robot. Older students with extensive robotics experience and confident in their skills may consider the VEX V5 course options.
This camp is strongly recommended for students who are participating in the Placer Robotics VEX IQ League 2024-2025 competition season!
July 8-11, July 15-18 Mon-Thur each week, 1:30-5:30 each day
Note, this camp is two weeks long. Week 1 is learning Combat Robotics strategies and design concepts, followed by Brainstorming and Designing your own robot. Week 2 is Build and Jr Bots competition. Groups of 1-2 will design and build their own combat robotics robot.
Ages: 7th - 9th grade students - no prior robotics experience required, but meet the 3D Design/CAD prequisite.
Prerequisites: We recommend that students with no prior 3D design/cad experience enroll in the 3D Design and Modeling summer camp sessions, especially if they would like to design a lifter or grabbing robot during camp
