FLATE’s Summer Camps Ignite Students’ Passion for Robotics, STEM & Manufacturing
Every summer, FLATE hosts several Robotics and Engineering Technology Camps at Hillsborough Community College’s (HCC) Brandon campus for middle and high schoolers. Each camp lasts five days, and takes students on an in-depth exploration of some of the most recent technologies used in high-tech manufacturing environments. This year FLATE offered three camps for middle and high school students. Each camp presented students with hands-on activities that were geared to develop real-world skills in programming, and give them a hands-on exploration of STEM-related topics in robotics. Students also get to learn about 3D modeling and printing, and how all of these concepts are applied in everyday manufacturing operations. Read more
During the Intro and All Girls Camps, students will learn how to program JIMU Astrobot UBTECH Robots. System requirements for the Robot and ZOOM can be emailed to campers. The Intermediate campers will program a UKIT Robot made by UBTECH Education. These robots are programmed using apps on tablets or smart phones. The High School camp a MSSC Skillboss CPT + trainer. The All Girls campers keep their JIMU Astrobot UKIT robots. The Intermediate campers will return their robots after camp.
