MONROE - Dane County Engineering for Kids is now offering summer camps in Monroe.
Engineering for Kids brings science, technology, engineering and math to kids ages 7 to 14 in a fun and challenging way.
Lego Robotics: Robo Battles is for boys and girls ages 7 through 14. Class will be held from 1:30 to 4 p.m. June 23 through 27 at the Community Center. The cost is $140 for residents or $155 for non-residents. During the LEGO Robo Battles classes, students create, program and control robots designed to perform challenges such as the Sumobots, Jousting and Catapult Challenge. Students learn principles of robotics, computer programming and teamwork.
Electronic Game Design: Platform Games is for boys and girls ages 7 through 14. The class will be held from 9:30 a.m. to noon Aug. 25 through 27 at the Community Center. The cost is $110 for residents or $125 for non-residents. Students will use Multimedia Fusion 2 to create their own video game. A platform game is a side-scrolling, Mario-type game where students program characters and a two-dimensional obstacle course. They attempt to avoid and overcome enemies and reach an end goal on multiple levels. At the end of the class, students take home a copy of the game they create.
The Engineering of Power and Energy is for boys and girls ages 7 through 14. The class will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 25 through 27 at the Community Center. The cost is $110 for residents or $125 for non-residents. Students work together to harness energy through some not so obvious energy sources.
For all of these engineering classes, a minimum of eight to a maximum of 20 is needed. To register, visit Monroe Parks and Recreation office at City Hall, 1110 18th Ave. For more information, call 608-329-2460.
