Clay Center Robotics Camp

Friday, June 29, 2018

This week Emily went to VEX Robotics camp at the Clay Center.  She went to the beginner course last summer, but then missed the advanced camp because of figure skating camp.  So this summer we got her registered for 2 weeks of the advanced camps and this week she completed the first week. She was the only girl in the group!  All week they spend building their robots and then coding them and testing them and getting them to complete certain tasks.

Then on Friday afternoon, at the end of camp, the kids got to show off their robots and then compete them against each other.

   
   
When it came time for the competition, Emily's robot did great!  She was actually the only one who was able to get her robot to stack one of the yellow cylinders on top of the orange ones.  The yellow were worth double points!  She had a blast AND I couldn't have been more proud of her holding her own with all those boys.  Girl Power!!!  She is already excited about the second week coming up later in July.
