What the Camp Is
MHHS Robotics, the MHHS Circuitry Club, and the Hackathon Club come together each summer to host a hands-on STEM camp for grades 1 to 8. Across three days, students get a real taste of robotics, circuitry, and programming through three of the largest STEM programs on campus.
ROBOTICS CLUB
Design and build your own robot from real VEX V5 parts, then bring it to life with sensors, sensor input, and feedback control.
HACKATHON CLUB
Develop coding foundations through Python by exploring iteration, sequences, and selections that programs are built from.
CIRCUITRY CLUB
Dive into circuit design by following hands-on science demonstrations and activites that show how electricity really works.
☀
This camp runs once a year during every summer. Registration is currently closed and opens as summer approaches. Check back then, or follow @mhhs.robotics on Instagram for the announcement.
