Elementary School
Junior Lego League
June 14-18; 9:00 am to 12:00 noon
Jr. FIRST Lego League, for students ages 6-9, offers students the chance to investigate and explore issues of modern, real-world problems through Lego building blocks. In this summer edition of Jr.FLL, students will learn all about transportation in their communities and world. Students design a poster and Lego model demonstrating their research!
This camp is free for participants, but students must be dropped off and picked up on time each day. For more information, contact your school’s main office or NC RESA.
Camp in the Kitchen I
July 19-23; 9:00 am to 12:00 noon
Campers in the first ever Camp in the Kitchen program will learn all about food in our homes and communities. Where does our food come from? How is it made? Students will then apply their knowledge in a professional kitchen, planning and preparing their own dishes!
Middle School Lego Robotics
June 21-25; 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
A more advanced engineering and technology opportunity for middle school students. This camp introduces students to the basics of robotics: planning, designing, programming, and testing. Student will work in small teams to design a Lego Mindstorms NXT robot to complete a simple challenge. Teams will be led by adult mentors and high school coaches from the high school robotics team NC GEARS.
Individual attention and hands-on experience will give students a head start on pathways to education and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Camp in the Kitchen II
July 19-23; 1:00 to 4:00 pm
Similar to Camp in the Kitchen I, but with more advanced concepts and cooking techniques! Campers in the first ever Camp in the Kitchen program will learn all about food in our homes and communities.

High School
Summer Tech Challenge
July 12-16; 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
A one-week introduction to advanced robotics for high school students. This class is based on the Lego Mindstorms NXT systems introduced in the Lego League program, but the addition of metal TETRIX components adds a new dimension to design and building.
Students will work in small groups to design and build a robot able to complete a unique task by automation and remote control. This camp is a great introduction for first-time roboticists, and a good way for experienced students to gear up for next year’s robotics season.
Camp will be held in the Robolab workshop at the Career-Tech Center.
Camp in the Kitchen III
July 26-30; 1:00 to 4:00 pm
The culminating culinary arts summer camp. Participants will learn advanced cooking techniques and will prepare all types of dishes, from snacks to full meals. Ideal for students interested in the Career-Tech Center Culinary Arts program, or for those pursuing work and careers in food.
