Safety is my number one concern when we are outdoors and students are supervised at all times.
Sickness
What do I do if my child is sick? If you child is ill the morning of camp please keep them home for their
safety and the safety of other campers. Please let us know. If your child becomes ill during camp hours
the parent/guardian will be notified by staff.
No Experience Required
No prior experience required in any of our camps. Kids may attend any week during the summer.
Will My Child Be Doing the Same Activities as Last Summer?
We created new programs and activities for 2020 including new robot designs for the summer. There is
always much more to learn at Envision Robotics!

BattleBots
Weeks 3, 5, 8
and 11
Two Versions of BattleBot Camps will be offered this year. BattleFront
with VEX IQ and Combat Zone with Lego Mindstorms EV3. New base robot
designs for 2020.
Monday: Build BattleBot
Monday begins with kids building their BattleBot base robot using either the
VEX IQ or Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot platform, depending on the week.
Each platform offers a unique experience and are battle capable!
Tuesday: Design Battle Components
Creativity and imagination abound as kids put pen to paper and sketch their
battle component ideas. Once approved, they transform their 2D drawings
into 3D design masterpieces! Emphasis is placed on functionality, aesthetics,
strength and durability, economy of materials, and imagination.
Wednesday: 3D Print Battle Components
Kids get hands-on working the 3D printers as they turn their digital design files
into actual 3D printed works of art! Kids are taught the nuances of printing in
3D and learn how to optimize their prints for performance in the battle ring.
Kids keep their pieces at the end of camp.
Thursday: Skirmish
With a good rest the night before, Wednesday starts of with some finger
stretches and deep meditation as the kids prepare for a series of skirmishes
throughout the day. Continuous matches and re-matches keep the
excitement level high. Kids contribute ideas to make BattleBot Friday special
including selecting music, agreeing on “sportsmanship” values and more.
Friday: BattleBot Finals
After a day of reflection, rest, and keen to take the controls once again….kids
engage in a series of final BattleBot challenges. Kids take the BattleBot
components they design and created home as a souvenir of their experience!
Top 3 students receive an award.

RatRod
Week 4
Our Fusion camps bring together robotics and 3D Printing into a unique
experience. Advanced 3D Printing techniques are covered in this camp.
RatRod fusion explores the world of RatRods with kids constructing a RatRod with Lego
components designed and printed by them. The week ends with some friendly racing.
Monday: The World of RatRods
Kids explore the exciting world of RatRods and begin to formulate their ideas
for their very own RatRod robot. Mechanical concepts are discussed, and
kids begin designing the parts to be fabricated with 3D Printing technology.
Tuesday: Finalize 3D Designs and 3D Prints
Students complete their 3D designs and once approved they begin the
process of printing their rims, rubber wheels, gears, and beams. The
fundamentals of 3D Printing are covered as well as printing with advanced
materials such as rubber and ABS.
Wednesday: 3D Printing & Stress Testing
3D Printing continues and students stress test the effectiveness of their parts
to ensure performance under different conditions. Parts may break which is
part of the learning process. Reprinting may be required.
Thursday: Assembly & Programming
Their RatRods come to life as they assemble their robot. The fundamentals
of programming EV3 robots is covered and students develop code to control
their robots for Raceday!
Friday: Raceday!
With their RatRods complete, kids continue to code their robots using different
sensors including the Colour and Ultrasonic. Mid-afternoon, kids measure the
speed of their RatRods and engage in a little friendly competion with an
awards presented for the fastest robots and 3D printed components.

Outpost
Week 6
Outpost Collaboration is designed to bring kids together to solve a set of
problems in a fun and immersive experience.
Stranded at the furthest edge of space, kids must work together to save humanity from near
disaster. Each child builds a different robot, creates 3D Printed parts, and codes their robot to
perform an important task in this collaborative camp.
Monday: Welcome to the Outpost
Excitement abounds as kids “blind-pick” a hero character on the team. Each
character has an associated robot and task to perform. Students also need to
3D Design and 3D Print a payload for their robot to carry. Kids work together
to plan out the week and task that must be completed.
Tuesday: Design Tuesday
With a plan in hand, kids begin sketching out the 3D printed parts needed for
their robot. Once approved kids begin the 3D Design and 3D Printing
process. Regular status meetings keep the team on-track towards fulfilling
their mission.
Wednesday: Fabrication Wednesday
Printers hum today as kids print their 3D printed parts for their robots. Fitting
takes place and modifications are made. Lots of learning this day as students
learn the fundamentals and advanced techniques of 3D Printing.
Thursday: Mission Practice
Success is the culmination of planning and practice. Students band together
to test their robots and practice working together to carry out their assigned
task. Remember – the future of humanity is in their hands.
Friday: Gameday!
Well rested, kids refine any remaining kinks in their assigned tasks. Parents
are invited at the end of the day to cheer on the kids as they save the world.

Fantasy of Flight
Weeks 7
Fantasy of Flight
Did you know Orville and Wilbur Wright practiced gliding in order to master the art of control before
attempting motor-driven flight? Fantasy of Flight explores the world of aviation with kids building
different glider designs fitted with 3D printed parts created by them. With this camp, kids will spend
more time each day in the adjacent park testing and flying their gliders.
Monday: Aviation Explored
Kids learn the principals and mechanics behind flying and begin to craft their
glider design based on best practices.
Tuesday: First Flight
Kids construct and decorate their gliders. To enhance their glider
performance, kids 3D Design and 3D Print several components. Kids spend
significant time outdoors testing and refining their gliders.
Wednesday: Second Flight
Armed with more experience, kids construct a second glider designed to stay
aloft longer and glide further. Decoration continues as does 3D Design and
3D Printing to create performance parts.
Thursday: Stretch It Out!
Kids investigate how elastic powered launchers can be used to propel their
gliders to new heights. Design work continues with kids 3D Designing and 3D
Printing their elastic-powered launchers.
Friday: Flight of Passage
Friday is a day of fun and games as kids engage in friendly competition to test
out their glider designs. Kids will also get some hand-on time flying one of the

30 Minutes or Less
Weeks 9
30 Minutes or Less
Will drones be the future for small package delivery? Companies like Amazon, FedEx, UPS,
Dominos’s Pizza think so and are investing heavily to test and commercialize this new technology.
Our 30 Minutes or Less Camp explores the challenge of delivery with drones with kids creating a
delivery mechanism, payload, and programming their drone to deliver. How cool is that?
Monday: Drones and the Delivery Challenge
On day 1 kids learn about the fundamentals of drones and the delivery
challenges companies face. Students get hands-on practice controlling their
drone. We use only DJI drones, the recognized leader in drone technology.
Tuesday: Delivery Mechanism
Kids explore the challenge of designing a suitable delivery mechanism for
their DJI drones. Designs are sketched out, and once approved, kids start
recreating in a 3D Design program. 3D Printing of the delivery mechanism
starts in the afternoon.
Wednesday: Payload
Kids sketch out their payload. Once complete, they recreate using a 3D
Design program.. 3D printing of their payload starts in the afternoon.
Thursday: Testing
Kids explore and test the capabilities of their drones, delivery mechanism and
payload design, and code their drones to take flight. Coding challenges are
provided to simulate delivery of their payload from take-off points to a delivery
points.
Friday: Flight of Passage
With testing complete, students are given a final set of challenges to
complete. This camp is fun, challenging, and practical. Will your child be the
one that designs the next leading-edge delivery drone system?
