Padnos College Outreach Get With the Program - TBD This camp is
part of a continuum of technology-based opportunities for girls
at Grand Valley State University, starting with the Science,
Technology and Engineering Preview Summer Camp for Girls
(STEPS). "We look forward to the opportunity to share our
enthusiasm for programming and robotics, in innovative and
interesting ways, with a new group of young women each summer."
Program Activities include designing, building and programming
autonomous robots using LEGO MINDSTORMS®. Campers will also
build and program two robots from kits that they will take home
at the conclusion of camp. Campers will do programming in Alice
(a GUI-based 3-D modelling language used by K-12 schools and
universities to introduce object oriented programming to
students) and write "stories" and small "movies" using 3-D
objects. The campers will go on a field trip to local industries
that use computing and robotics. Financial SupportPast funding
