==Course Description==
 
 
From the CTY Summer Catalog:
 
 
In the field of robotics, computer science and engineering come together to create machines that can perform a variety of tasks from manufacturing microchips to exploring Mars.
 
 
In this course, students develop familiarity with computer science concepts. For example, they explore topics such as algorithms, sequential control flow, and Boolean operators. Students also survey basic principles of physics and mechanical engineering, such as simple machines and locomotion, and basic principles of electrical engineering, such as circuits and sensor feedback. Using LEGO® robotics equipment, they work together to construct, program, and test their robots in a modern programming environment.
 
 
With each project, students design, build, and program robots to complete a complex task, and reinforce a new concept. These projects demonstrate the basic computer science and engineering principles that underlie everything from the space shuttle to the average home toaster. Students gain a foundation in computer programming and engineering that will become increasingly important in the highly technical 21st century.
 
 
Note: CTY is committed to eliminating the gender gap in technology and engineering fields. To that end, a girls-only section of this class will be held at the Chestertown site during the first session. Girls may request this or a co-ed section of the class.
 
 
Lab Fee: $100 (This fee is greater than for other courses due to higher material and equipment costs.)
 
 
Students must have completed grades: 5 or 6
