8 Robotics Camp with LEGO NXT 2.0 & EV3 6 to 12 Robotics with LEGO NXT 2.0 & EV3 (ages 6 to 12) At Robotics Camp, campers use LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 and LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 to learn the fundamentals of building a wide variety of robots. By learning important principles, campers acquire the ability to create robots from their imagination, in addition to following instructions for specific robots provided by LEGO and independent websites. The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 and EV3 product lines allow for hundreds of possibilities of robots, and each week at camp new ideas and projects are presented. In addition to building, campers learn how to program robots using a computer, how to control their robot using remote control capabilities, and work in teams every step of the way. In addition to building and programming, campers learn about the history of robotics, its current importance, and how it will change the future of lives for generations to come. Campers also utilize math skills through building, programming, and the use of trial and error where measuring time, speed, and distance during challenges is paramount. This camp is great for one-week or multiple weeks! If attending multiple weeks of Robotics Camp, you will move up in curriculum and work with new robots. New and Exciting for 2015: New robots to build! New Challenges and ROBOWARS TOURNAMENT format. New Robotics Activity Packet. Level 1 is for campers trying robotics for the first time or with little experience (Appx. 1-2 camp weeks): Campers in this level use LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 and/or EV3 to learn the basics of robotics, build and program at least two robots during the week, and use them to complete tasks that are competitive and non-competitive. Campers can work with a selection of robots like the Shooterbot, Robogator, Humanoid, 6 TRACK3R, R3PTER and free build a robot for Robowars. Level I campers also learn about organizing pieces, wheels and axles, and the importance of sustainability by caring for pieces and using rechargeable battery packs whenever possible. Level 2 is for campers who are at the intermediate level (Appx. 3-6 previous camp weeks): These campers use LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 to build, program, and control robots like the, SPIK3R, EV3RSTORM, and GRIPP3R. A selection of bonus robots include the BANNER PRINT3R, BOBB3E, DINOR3X, ELECTRIC GUITAR, EV3D4, EV3GAME, EV3MEG, KRAZ3, Mr. B3AM, RAC3TRUCK, ROBODOZ3R, and WACK3M. Campers can also partially or fully invent their own design and implement the building and programming of a robot without instructions to complete certain tasks. These robots may include using multiple bricks, additional pieces, and even wireless remote control from the computer. These campers learn trial and error, the importance of using their own imagination, and the rewarding feeling of creating something that is totally their own. Level 2 campers explore concepts in sustainability and efficiency regarding the functioning of their robots. Level 3 is for campers who have at least six weeks of Robotics Camp experience, or at least 150 hours of experience in robotics (Appx. 6 + camp weeks): These campers use LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 to build, program, and control robots of their own creation. These robots must perform tasks that are for practical use in real life, either effective as is or a representative scaled down model for a robot that would be much bigger in real life. Campers are asked to identify societies needs, what type of robots can fulfill these needs, and implement their own designs and concepts. Some examples may include: A Recycling Robot, A fire alarm with a heat sensor, A Robot using wind energy, a Parallel Parking Robot using the Gyro sensor, and of course the super cool Candy Machine (taking real coins and dispensing candy!) Level 3 campers may also explore the financial undertaking of building these types of Robots in life size and determine the cost benefit analysis of bringing their creation into real life. Please provide your child s experience level on your registration form in the additional comments section. If you have any questions about the level of your child, please us at Info@ lavnercamps.com Campers at all levels participate in a camp tournament called ROBOWARS, which takes place on the Friday of each week. All groups free build a robot that battle head to head in a tournament setting. For many campers ROBOWARS is the highlight of their entire summer! In ROBOWARS, robots are either preprogrammed, controlled by computer via USB, controlled by computer via Bluetooth wireless connection or by smart phone. Lavner Robotics campers LOVE THIS CAMP!

10 Video Game Design Camp with Apps! At Video Game Design Camp, campers use the program Fusion 2.5 to create their own video games for use on computers, and learn how to create game Apps that are compatible with the Android and/or ios devices. Known as one of the best and computers camps in the area, campers come away with added skills, knowledge, and accomplishments! At this popular Computer Camp, no previous experience is necessary, however more complicated projects are offered to campers based upon their age and ability. Starting with a blank screen, campers begin with a single frame where they place objects, scenery, a scoreboard, and number of lives. Campers use the events editor to program how objects behave in this environment. The games and Apps are then expanded to multiple frames and levels, resulting in a complete multi-level arcade and/or platform game/app. In addition to using objects and scenery from Fusion 2.5, campers can bring outside objects and scenery that they design into the game, or manipulate the design of objects within the Fusion 2.5 library. In this sense, campers learn not only programming logic, but also animation and design. Multi-level decision-making teaches campers to consider the game as a whole, beyond just a single frame, and encourages vision and planning. Level 1 is for beginners with little or no experience. Within the first week, campers create their own games of brick-breaker, pong or asteroids, and one App. Upon returning for a second week of camp, campers create a platform game with scrolling capabilities for games like Downhill Skiing, Car Racing, and Medieval Adventures, or a game of their choice, in addition to creating another App. Campers are amazed at how quickly they can learn to make their own games and Apps from scratch! While working through a tutorial to utilize programming and design concepts, campers are given total poetic license to create their own features and story lines. Campers create at least one Video Game and one App during each week of camp. Level 2 is for campers who have completed at least two full weeks of camp, and exhibit a strong understanding of basic principles in Multimedia Fusion 2.5. Expanding on the ability to create a basic platform game, campers can create games with scrolling capabilities like a Multi-Player Racing games, Adventure Games over vast landscapes. Underwater Games, a Choose Your Own Adventure game, Quiz Shows, Lavner Jump!, Role Playing Games, and much more... App creation in level 2 focuses on touch features, swiping movements, and creating apps with more adventure and flashier animation! Level 3 is for campers who have completed at least four full weeks of camp, and/or have 100 programming hours in Multimedia Fusion 2.5. Platform games are similar to the games created by the intermediate group, but Level 3 campers are encouraged to complete more total levels, create a more complicated story line, execute with a higher caliber of design, custom design players and enemies, and implement more sofisticated movement by enemies, especially bosses of levels. Campers learn and discuss the marketability of video games and create them with this in mind. Level 3 campers are asked, at their volition, to consider submitting their final product to a video game website. Level 3 campers also explore the history of Apps with attention to some of the most famous Apps that have been instant successes, their components, and how they captured the imagination of the public. Campers are then asked to create an App with these principles and concepts in mind.

At this summer camp, you utilize your own creativity, learn and improve your skills, and work individually or collaboratively (on our own private servers) in the same virtual world! Our own servers allow campers to work together on the same projects, creating fun and dynamic group interaction! Using Minecraft as a learning tool, campers utilize various Minecraft skills to customize and create their own legendary worlds! Campers learn how to tailor their own landscapes and explore the benefits and challenges of various biomes. Campers also use an inventory of blocks and various resources to literally mine and craft projects like a Medieval village, landscape arenas, secret underground cities, pirate ships, high rise buildings, towers, bridges, castles, caves, roller coasters and entire amusement parks. Campers may also construct famous buildings and structures like the Space Needle, Petronas Towers, The White House, Taj Mahal, Buckingham Palace, the Pantheon, and/or structures of their own choosing. *Projects can include the construction of a train system, roller coaster, and trapdoor/tunnel access allowing all players to tour and travel the entire environment for observation, work efficiency, and gameplay. Campers can also create worlds that encompass game play and a story line. Campers may choose to work with other campers or on their own, but group participation is highly encouraged! By working in the same world with multiple players, campers assume different roles (builder, architect, resource gatherer, protector, team leader etc ) where communication and fulfilling one s role is very important to achieving the group s collective goals. From a social standpoint, campers learn teamwork and cooperation as they fulfill a variety of roles when sharing and implementing ideas in the completion of group projects. *Added Learning Opportunities: 1. Customizing Maps Campers can learn about customizing maps and biomes in Minecraft. 2. Redstone Lessons Campers can learn about creating electrical circuits using Redstone. This knowledge can help students create features like functioning doors, garage doors, trap doors sliding bookcases and more that operate at the push of a button. More advanced campers may work with pistons. 3. Mods Campers can learn how to implement a Mod (modification). An instructor will use a step-by-step demonstration on how to implement a Mod into a Minecraft TM world. Mods add tremendously to the creativity factor since campers can modify their player, tools, scenery, structures, interactions, and much more! 4. Multi-Player Servers Campers learn about multi-player servers through their hands-on experience of working within them at camp. This camp is open to campers who are beginners and intermediates at Minecraft. Campers are grouped based upon age and ability, and group requests can be made prior to camp. Campers are required to arrive with their own Minecraft account for a PC. If your child does not have a Minecraft account, it can be purchased at Minecraft.net. Once this account is purchased, campers have access to their account for use throughout the year. Campers should bring in a USB flash drive on their last day of camp so that they can then copy their project(s) onto their flash drive for use at home. Campers may register for one week or multiple weeks, as projects vary from week to week. *This camp is not affiliated with Minecraft.net and/or Mojang, Inc. *The functionality of our servers for multi-player use is dependent upon Internet connectivity. Our servers have successfully undergone testing prior to the summer at each location. Although rare, it is possible that external factors may cause an interruption in connectivity during camp. If this occurs, campers will collaborate on projects in single player mode and/or engage in other Minecraft learning experiences while connectivity is being restored. Rest assured, there are many off computer Minecraft activities that supplement learning and are super fun! An Activity Packet A Copy of Your Minecraft Project(s) 10

14 Coding with Scratch Welcome to the amazing world of coding with Scratch, where, at this awesome computer camp, campers gain great experience with computer science! Campers use Scratch, a program created by the MIT Media Lab, to create, program, and share projects. With over 6 million projects to choose from, campers program and design their own characters and landscapes, and create their own interactive adventures and stories. Scratch uses a programming language that is in easy to understand English and created for its own platform. By moving and combining blocks of code, campers develop their own programs to create super cool animation projects. Campers can also make their animations interactive by including instructions, designing their character s costumes, adding unique background images and sounds, programming their sprites (the objects that perform the actions in the project) to dance, sing, and talk, in addition to other endless possibilities. Campers enjoy customizing projects and using lots of creativity. By using Scratch, campers are able to work with a more simplified programming language (compared to other programming languages) to gain the understanding of programming logic and concepts. For campers who want to get into computer programming, this is a great place to start! Adding to the fun, campers can share projects easily with family and friends by creating their own links! Instructors set up each camper with his or her own personalized Scratch account upon arrival at camp. No prior experience is necessary. This camp is great for one week or multiple weeks!

27 Language Camps 8 to 12 Want to immerse yourself into a new language and culture? This camp is for you! Campers choose Spanish, French, or Chinese and immerse themselves in the language and culture throughout the week. Learning a new language is easy and natural for children, especially as their brains continue to develop cognitively and linguistically. Using interactive learning tools rather than textbooks, campers use more hands-on and fun methods to improve their language skills (speaking, reading, and writing), and explore the culture through traditional food, dance, history, music, media, and much more. Through years of research and studies, experts have concluded that learning a foreign language has many benefits for children. Some benefits include increased verbal development, better problem-solving and math skills, greater self-confidence and personal fulfillment, clearer spatial relations, improved communication skills, heightened creativity, and enhanced memory. As the global boundaries continue to get smaller through technological and societal advances, learning a foreign language provides these campers with a vehicle to develop meaningful relationships and cultural awareness, enhance career opportunities, gain self-confidence, and broaden their perspectives. Join us this summer to expand your mind and enrich your life! Locations Malvern Preparatory School 418 South Warren Ave Learning a second language increases your chance for travel, forming new friendships, and career opportunities!
