Summer Workshops
Early Elementary Robotics FULL
CEEO will offer two sessions of Early Elementary Robotics for
children going into first and second grade next fall. Each workshop will run from July 10th - 12th and costs $150. Students must choose between the morning session ("Engineering Around Town") which runs from 9am - 12noon, or the afternoon session ("Engineering at the Amusement Park") which runs from 1pm - 4pm. The workshop will use a book as inspiration and will introduce students to the engineering design process as
they build and program with standard LEGO bricks and a programmable
LEGO brick. Their projects will help them gain exposure to hands-on,
open-ended design projects. First, students will focus on stable building and an
introduction to programming. Then, students will work
on a project to be shared at the open-house during the last day of
class.
Ages: Students entering grades 1 or 2 in the fall of 2012
Dates: July 10 - 12
Times (Choose 1):
- 9am - 12noon: Engineering Around Town FULL
- 1pm - 4pm: Engineering at the Amusement Park FULL
Cost: $150
Registration: Both sessions are full and no longer accepting applications.
Co-Ed Robotics FULL
These full-day sessions will run from 9 to 3 on Monday through Friday and cost
$500. This session will help students design, build, and program using
the engineering design process. Several open-ended challenges will be
posed to the students throughout the week. They will use standard LEGO
bricks, programmable LEGO bricks, and other materials to complete these
design challenges. The week will start with activities focusing on
stability in design and move to other topics, such as, gearing, weight
distribution, and momentum, as the students incorporate programming and
motors into their designs.
Ages: For children entering grades 3-8 in the Fall of 2012
Dates: July 16-20 or July 23-27
Cost: $500
Registration: This workshop is now full and no longer accepting registrations.
More Spring and Summer workshop schedule will be announced at the end of February...

In the meanwhile, the descriptions below provide a general overview of what the CEEO usually offers.
View our Frequently Asked Questions about our workshops for kids.
Academic Year Workshops
Saturday Workshops
The CEEO hosts 3 hour workshops on a couple of Saturdays each semester. The
programs include robotics workshops for students in grades 1-8,
workshops for students & parents, and workshops for educators. We
provide a variety of themed sessions each semester.
After-School Programs
Our after-school programs are organized to give students the
opportunity to learn about the engineering design process through a
series of fun activities. The activities progress from stability
building exercises using LEGO bricks to challenges using the robotic
LEGO pieces. Each program ends with an open-ended design challenge.
Home-School Programs
These
programs are designed to teach home-school students about the
engineering design process and related principles. Over 6 sessions,
students are given challenges to build their understanding of the
design process and improve their skills with the robotic LEGO pieces
and accompanying icon-based software.
Summer Programs
Co-Ed Robotics
CEEO usually offers two one-week sessions for kids going into grades
3-7. These full-day sessions will run from 9 to 3 on Monday through Friday and cost
$500. This session will help students design, build, and program using
the engineering design process. Several open-ended challenges will be
posed to the students throughout the week. They will use standard LEGO
bricks, programmable LEGO bricks, and other materials to complete these
design challenges. The week will start with activities focusing on
stability in design and move to other topics, such as, gearing, weight
distribution, and momentum, as the students incorporate programming and
motors into their designs.
Early Elementary Robotics
CEEO usually offers two sessions of Early Elementary Robotics for
children going into first and second grade. Each workshop will run for 3
half-days and cost $150. This session introduces students to the engineering design process as
they build and program with standard LEGO bricks and a programmable
LEGO brick. Their projects will help them gain exposure to hands-on,
open-ended design projects. First, students will focus on stable building and an
introduction to programming. Then, students will work
on a project to be shared at the open-house during the last day of
class.
