Robotics is increasingly being considered as the
fourth “R” of learning, “Reading, wRriting and
aRithmatic” that modern-day students must
understand to succeed in a highly competitive,
technology-driven world. Robotics integrates all
STEM by integrating mechanical, electrical,
electronics, control engineering, computer
science, technology, math and science. At the
2015 Robotics Engineering Summer Camp,
students will discover breakthrough technologies
in robotics and immerse themselves in the most
forward-looking discipline of our time.
Makes learning fun, engaging, and inspiring
Provides highly practical hands-on
experience
Gives a head-start in preparing for high
school and college
Develops critical thinking skills and problem
solving strategies
Enables learner to develop and express
creativity
Develops the ability to work collaboratively
in teams
Helps develop an intuitive understanding of
physical concepts in science and math
Helps to excel in math and science and
choose a career in science and technology
Enables learner to appreciate and realize
technology
Builds confidence and self-esteem
Prepares student for the fast-paced
competitive world

Who is the camp for? The Robotics Engineering Summer Camp is for current 8th— 11th grade students enrolled at Carver Middle School, Oak Park Middle School, or Leesburg High School. Do I have to know how to program robotics already? Students should be at a beginner to intermediate level with programming and building robots. When will the camp be held?: The camp will take place over three weeks Monday - Thursday (No camp on Fridays) from June 15th until July 2nd 9 am - 3 pm Will transportation be provided? Yes, if transportation is needed, it will be provided daily with an 8:30 am pick up and a 3:30 pm drop off at Leesburg High School. Where will the camp be held? The camp will take place on LSSC’s Leesburg Campus.
How much does the camp cost? Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, we are able to provide this experience free of charge to 25 students. The value of this camp is approximately $1,000 per student; therefore, due to the high cost value of this project, all interested students will have to submit an application and undergo a screening process. A total of 25 participants will be selected. Only students who are prepared and available to commit to the entire 3-week summer camp should apply.
Will lunch be provided? Yes, a hot free lunch will be provided each day.
Please complete and submit the attached application,
essay and recommendation form by May 20th.
Recommendations should be completed by a current or
former Math, Science, or Technology/Engineering
teacher. Applications, recommendations and essays
should be submitted together to:
Leesburg High School—Kim Brown
Carver Middle School—Bart Nash
Oak Park Middle School—Randi Wright
Selected students will be notified by May 26.
