Computer Science
Programming
Days: Tuesday & Thursday
Time: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Exploring VEX IQ Robotics Systems
Exploring VEX IQ Robotics Systems
Continue exploring the world of engineering and robotics but now let's add some more programming, some more autonomy and some sensors to detect the world around us using the VEX IQ robotics system. Develop solutions that use more complex code and sensor input to have their robots react to the world around them. Some tasks will include autonomous navigation, vision tracking, warehouse operations and package delivery.
Musical Theater
Stage Performance
Days: Monday thru Thursday
Time: 9:00 am -11:00 am
