<ul><li>Motors, servos, switches, and LEDs</li><li>Basic sensor integration (e.g., distance, limit switches, or line detection depending on level)</li><li>Power and wiring fundamentals for safe, reliable systems</li></ul>
By combining mechanical and electronic components, campers create “smart” mechanisms that move, react, or respond.
<h3>Prototyping &amp; Fabrication Skills</h3>
Under close supervision, campers work with real tools and materials appropriate for their age and experience:
<ul><li>Hands-on fabrication with wood, plastics, and metal components (where appropriate)</li><li>Learning how to measure accurately, cut safely, and assemble robust structures</li><li>Using simple CAD or sketching techniques to plan builds before cutting</li></ul>
<h3>Engineering Challenges &amp; Capstone Project</h3>
