Campers will be introduced to the VEX GO Kit and learn to build effectively using all categories of pieces in the Kit. Challenges will be themed around a Mission to Mars as they build to create a launch pad, spaceship, mars buggy, and mars base build.
They will then focus on motion for level 2 and build the Super Car and investigate the properties of speed. They will test the distance a Super Car can travel, the variables that impact that distance, and how to calculate average speed. They will also build and use the Magnet Car to investigate the properties of magnetism and magnetic force by testing what is and is not magnetic. Students will then use the magnetism to drive the Magnet Car.
Finally, they will build the Pendulum using the VEX GO Kit and engineer a game to knock over objects.
