    Does your child like to build with LEGO?  Do they think robots are cool?  Do they enjoy taking things apart to see how they work?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, LEGO Techsploration is the camp they've been looking for!  As a camper, your child will learn basic computer programming and mechanical engineering with LEGO Mindstorms for NXT.  They'll design and program "autonomous" robots for a variety of challenges and competitions. 
    Kevin Morrison, a Media Arts instructor at Burr and Burton Academy, has been teaching LEGO Mindstorms to children for over 20 years and guarantees a fun and enriching experience for all. 

    Note:
    Campers should practice using a mouse on a computer before they arrive at camp.  More on this closer to the first day of camp.
