Robotics Camp March Break

March Break Robotics Camp

Ages 8-12

Toronto Tool Library Makerspace is happy to announce the return of our march break program. For a whole week every year creative fun meets controlled chaos. With a heavy emphasis on safety, we will empower kids with the skills needed to use our tools and equipment in a community makerspace environment. We will learn robotics, electronics, power tool use, soldering, laser cutting and 3d printing. The kids will be divided into teams and will build a robot to compete against other teams.

Participants will work in teams to design and build a working remote controlled robot. We will add various kinetic weapons. The end of the week will feature epic battles that parents might not want to miss.
