In 2024, our attendees built and programmed Robůtka. It is a small robot that can be controlled via a phone or programmed using a custom program. All attendees took their own Robůtka with sensors and other accessories home from the camp. Instructions and documentation can be found here. Looking back at the camp 2024 (in Czech).
At the camp in 2023, participants worked on several smaller projects. The main project was the development kit ELKS, which stands for ESP Learning Kit Starter. It is an educational tool for teaching electronics and the basics of programming. We still use the kits in circles for beginners and advanced. Instructions and documentation can be found here. Looking back at the camp 2023 (in Czech).
At the camp in 2022, participants worked on various projects according to their preference. The projects focused on electronics, soldering, gluing, and programming. Programming was done on commercially available Micro:bits. Various games (such as Snake) were created, as well as various wireless games for multiple players. Instructions and documentation can be found here. Looking back at the camp 2022 (in Czech).
On 2021's camp, our participants created several toys like electronical dice, or mechanical safe called BlackBox. Also, many of them improved their soldering skills with 4 levels of our custom SMD challenge. The biggest creation of this year was Logic, that was used to teach programming. Instructions and documentation can be found here. Looking back at the camp 2021 (in Czech).
This year, out attendees built and programmed Robotka, which they could later upgrade and customize with various sensors and upgrades. At the end of the camp, everybody could test out his robot in a competition. Instructions and documentation can be found here. Looking back at the camp 2020 (in Czech).
In 2019 we prepared for all the children Robotic arm (in Czech), which every participant made. Last day we organized competitions, so that everyone can try his robot in different tasks. Instructions and documentation can be found here. Looking back at the camp 2019 (in Czech).
In 2018, we built a robotic toy Míčkoflus. Instructions and documentation can be found here. Looking back at the camp 2018 (in Czech).
In 2017, participants of our camp took home a development board ALKS (Arduino Learning Kit Starter) with a very interesting ESP32 chip, which we programmed using the Arduino platform. Instructions and documentation can be found here. Looking back at the camp 2017 (in Czech).
The attendees received Arduino Nano module in the Robotic Camp 2016. The children learned the basics of programming and electronics and then they used some libraries and modules for their own projects. They used, for example, temperature sensors and barometers for logging current atmospheric conditions. Other projects presented connected display or intelligent LED strips with amazing color effects. Looking back at the camp 2016 (in Czech).
Our camp is continuously supported by our partners. We would not be able to organize the camp in its current form without them and we are eternally grateful to them.
