- Lesson Plan Sample PDF
The Elementary Robotics Summer Camp is a perfect introduction to robotics for students in Grades 3-8. Students will learn scientific principles as they build over 40 robots including a Line Tracer, Avoider, Battle Robot, Soccer Robot, and more. The step-by-step curriculum will lead you through 12 weeks of instruction for 20 students. All activities are available in Google 3D Warehouse and you can build your own 3D models to better understand the engineering process.
