Angelo State to Host Free Summer Robotics Camps

SAN ANGELO, TX — Angelo State University's Department of Teacher Education will once again host its free summer Robotics Camps for local and area middle school students this July in the Carr Education-Fine Arts Building at 2602 Dena Drive on campus.

Each five-day, non-residential camp is open to students who will be entering the sixth, seventh or eighth grade this fall. Participants will learn to build and program robots using the LEGO Spike Prime Environment.

The Robotics Camps are all beginner camps and will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day on the following dates:

• July 7-11
• July 14-18
• July 21-25

All the camps are free to all participants - and T-shirts and daily lunches will be provided. Advance registration is required, and the electronic registration form is available at angelo.edu/camp-code.

In addition to coding and robotics instruction, the camps will feature sessions on team building, information on opportunities to join groups or organizations focused on coding activities, and information on careers in coding, robotics and technology.

The Robotics Camps are made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). This marks the seventh straight year ASU has won a TWC grant to underwrite the camps.
