Robot Camp

A few years ago we saw a newspaper article about a robot camp offered by the USU Extension Service in St. George. Ethan really wanted to do it but you have to be at least 9 years old. The man who teaches/runs the program for the Extension Service is in our ward so I asked him when Ethan would be allowed to do it. Finally, this year Ethan was old enough so we signed him up.

It was so much fun for Ethan!! They were split into partners Ethan was paired with the only girl and had a few conflicts. We need to teach him the phrase, "Yes dear." Anyway, he and his partner built a robot and learned how to program it so they could accomplish different tasks. He had a great time and really learned a lot.

The best part is that he can now check out the Lego Mindstorm kits from the Extension Service because he has taken the class. Yeah! Because those things are expensive!!
