Intro to Python - Controlling 6-Axis Arms Camp - Residential Camp

In this hands-on, immersive camp, CURIOUS students will explore the world of 6 axis robotic arms using the VEX CTE Workcell kit. Students will explore the mechanics of robotic arms while learning foundational principles of coding. The camp will provide an introduction to Python programming, one of the most popular and versatile programming languages in automation, to program and control the robotic arm.

They'll also examine how robots are used in real-world industries for material handling, assembly, and quality control. As part of collaborative teams, students will face engineering challenges that require creative thinking, troubleshooting, and teamwork.

This unique opportunity is offered by the Robotics Center at Kettering University, led by an experienced computer programmer, Kettering Alumni & FIRST mentor, and sponsored by VEX, GM and Magna.
