Please make sure that students arrive between 8:45 and 9 AM. Please do not drop students off earlier than 8:45 AM. There is no supervision available prior to 8:45 and students should not be in the building.

What to bring:

Students are responsible for bringing their own lunch and snack food. To satisfy the large demand for the workshops, we've expanded the camp to 30 participants. This means we also need more supplies. If your child has an NXT kit and laptop that they can bring, it will help lower the kid:robot ratio. Students should show up with a pre-built robot and LEGO Mindstorms installed on their computer. They will be allowed to use their own robot, but will most likely be asked to share with a partner. PLEASE CONFIRM IF YOUR CHILD WILL BE BRINGING THEIR OWN ROBOT! Thanks! No other materials necessary.

Payment:

Please send or drop off checks to the JEDC office:
