Students in K-12 can explore robotics, cyber defense, Java programming and more at two weeks of summer camp offered by Battlefield High School Robotics Team 1885.  Morning and afternoon camps are offered the weeks of June 20 and June 27 at Battlefield High School.  LEGO EV3 Robotics, Girls in STEM, Intro to Java and Cyber Defense are just a few of the camps offered to give students the opportunity to learn and explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

"It's important to give students of all ages the opportunity for hands-on learning," said Battlefield High School Team 1885 Coach, Gail Drake.  "Summer camp is an exciting exploration of robotics, science, technology and engineering led by enthusiastic students who are planning on pursuing careers in engineering, programming and business."
