2022 Robotics Camps
Summary: Over the 2022 Summer LCSRC ran robotics camps geared towards middle and elementary schoolers. They ran a total of three weeks of camp where the students thought of solvable problem, used designing, building, and coding skills, and executed a solution to their solvable problem. These camps centered around the use of the LEGO SPIKE hub. These camps served as fundraising for later LCSRC ventures.
Location: 9804 Old Warson Road (LCSRC Headquarters)
Duration: July 4 to July 15 and June 20 to June 24
Volunteers: Aditya Jain, Rohan Suri, Alison Nieder
Participants: Students from various school districts entering grades 4 through 8
