Camp Description:
This Camp will be basically Hands On Experiments, where kids will practice the concepts by their hands for better digesting the concepts, and will include:

• Science for days 1-8:
  • Variety of Science sessions covering (Chemistry, Physics, Biology...) targeting to give kids the chance to experience different science topics to be able to sense which sector is interesting for them.
• Mechanics  for days 1-2:
  • Learning the basic mechanical concepts through applications on the VEX IQ robot by building different drive trains.
  • Testing and modifying the robots.
  • Competing with each other in fun and engaging challenges.
• Electronics for days 3-4:
  • learning the basics of electronics and programming (arduino,scratch)  through designing a part of smart city like smart house +smart Garage
    through using (sensors,motors arduino & Mbot robot)
• Programming for days 5-6:
  • Kids will learn the basic concepts of programming through applications on VEX IQ robot, by learning to program robots in different robots in different challenges and learning about different types of sensors.
• Aviation for days 7-8.
• Graduation ceremony days 9-10.
• Projects and Competitions will be done to ensure interactive atmosphere in the areas: 

1. Crime Scene Investigation
2.  Electricity Lab
3.  Earthquake resistance
4.  Morse Code
5.  Submarine
6. Robot Racing
7. SUMO Competition
8. Balloon Challenge
9. Maze Challenge
10. Ramp Challenge
11. Smart City (Smart Home+Smart central Garage)

• A kit will be provided for each group of 4 kids including: VEX IQ, Arduino, Motors, Sensors, Scratch Materials, & Mbot Robot.
• Plus, one hour of sports every day :)
