FLATE is offering several robotics and engineering camps for middle and high school students this summer. The five day camps are a challenging, but fun way for students to explore and learn about robotics and STEM in a high-tech manufacturing context. Each camp presents students with hands-on activities that are geared to develop real-world skills in programming, learning about 3D modeling and printing, and how each of these concepts are applied in everyday manufacturing operations.
Local camps in the Tampa Bay area will be held at the Engineering
Tech Labs and FLATE offices at Hillsborough Community College in Brandon. Cost
for the intro and intermediate camp is $175 per week; cost for the high school
engineering and technology camp is $200 a week.
This year’s schedule and list of camps include:

Scholarships are available for campers with preference given to
girls enrolled in the All Girls camp. The Suncoast Credit Union Foundation is once again
partnering with FLATE to provide scholarships for girls from low-income
families to attend the All Girls camp. Thanks to a grant from Hillsborough
County, scholarships are also available for students interested in enrolling in
the high school camp. Students from low income families, and/or those
participating in a free and reduced lunch program are eligible to apply for the
high school camp scholarship. A camp T-shirt, company tour, supplies and
curriculum will be provided for all students and is included in the
registration fee. More information on the high school camps, applications and
scholarship are posted online on the FLATE Camps website.
This year as in last year, FLATE will once again work closely with
Hillsborough Community College to provide before and after care for campers who
are interested in this option. FLATE is also working with HCC and Hillsborough
County School District to provide free breakfast options for campers. More
details for signing up for either/or option will be posted on the FLATE Campwebsite, so stay tuned. Interested in hosting your own Lego Mindstorm camp this
summer? FLATE has published and posted its robot camp curriculum and its newly
updated EV3 robotics camp guide. For more information visit the FLATE Made in Florida website for the summer camp
curriculum, or the Best Practices page for the FLATE Robotics Camp Survival
kit. Application forms, dates and additional details about the 2017 robotics camps will be posted shortly on the FLATE camps page at http://fl-ate.org/programs/summer-camps. You can also contact Dr. Marilyn Barger at barger@fl-ate.org, and Janice Mukhia at mukhia@fl-ate.org/813.259.6581.
