  • MFS Robotic Camp – 2014

    The Monteverde Friends School had its first day of a week long robotics camp and over 25 students attended.  During the first day the students learned to navigate the NXT programming environment on their laptops, build and program Mindstorm robots, and use sensors to navigate simple mazes and puzzles. Some students also programmed their robots to kick a small ball while other designed theirs to grab and maneuver several larger objects around the room.
    The week long camp is being run by Hannah and Rachael Tipperman twin 17 year old sisters from Philadelphia who developed Robot Springboard as an organization to help develop robotics programs in different communities.
