SnappyXO Robotics Summer Camp

The SnappyXO Design Innovation and Robotics Camp gave Long Island students a chance to spend part of their summer learning complex robotics. The two-week STEM-based educational programs were meant to inspire the next generation of innovators. Students were each given a robotics kit and instructed on the basics of integrating software and hardware components in their robotic creations for a hands-on introduction to microcontroller programming, electronic-circuit design, sensors, actuators, and other advanced-robotics concepts.

SnappyXO Design is the world’s first design-driven robotics education platform consisting of a 1) patented hardware, 2) apps for designing robot motions and controlling them, 3) curriculum, tutorials, and professional development material, and 4) educational services in the field of mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer programming in the context of engineering design.

The camp uses a refreshing, innovative model of robotics instruction that goes beyond opportunities offered elsewhere.

- Christine F., Parent

 

Totally awesome! I feel my son learned a lot of new skills on coding.

- Eric T., Parent

yes

Great opportunity for kids to learn from experts in the field.

My child now has an appreciation for collaboration in obtaining an end result and meeting new friends.

Kids were taught and provided the means to understand the concepts and then given the tools to make their robots in teams.

- Marisa B., Parent

yes

A great way to expose young people to robotics and challenge them.

Learning how to build, design and create robots; meeting other young people who share similar interests; working with college level students.

- Christine B., Parent

yes

This was an amazing camp, he learned so much in such a short time! He loved it so much and made some great friends.

- Carol H., Parent

The kids enjoyed attending. It was hands-on and taught them something they had no experience in.

- Kristina L., Parent

yes

My son truly enjoyed himself.

He learned so much coding new programs, etc. Absolutely would recommend for other schools in our district.

- Liza T., Parent

"It was fun, hard and very helpful" - my son learned that things aren't always going to be easy and you can't give up.

- Zenzele & Uchenna K., Students 

yes

Based on the level of his excitement when he comes home, my son is having the time of his life.

The exposure to technology & expertise of the instructors have opened trains of thought he may not have had. It has truly laid open the paths available. It's the difference between an alley and the Grand Canyon.

- Ronald K., Parent
