YES Summer Robotics Camp is designed to introduce students to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) using LEGO robots. Our goal is to teach the students how to build the robots, the logical flow of robotics programming and how to create simple programs to get the robots moving. As students progress through the Institute, we will have them problem solve different scenarios involving what the robot 'sees' and how it should navigate through its surroundings.

June 7th is already marked on the calendar as an early release day. The early release dates are to give our teachers time to score the state's new common exams.

We appreciate your support of our teachers.
