2015 Robotics & Aerospace
Summer Camp - Information
Kennedy Montessori School, 7781 Kennedy Road, Markham, L3R 2C8
Logics Academy is pleased to present a Summer Camp experience like no other! Register today for
a fun, engaging and challenging summer camp filled with robotics and programming adventures.
Camp for students Grades 1 – 4 and 5 – 8. Students are to bring their own Lunch!
W eek of July 13 th ($350) & W eek of Aug 4 th ($300)
Jr (Grade 1 – 4) Play I, Program and Play
At Logics we believe that learning how to program robots at a young age is as essential as reading
and writing, and can be taught at the same age as other language skills. In this course the students
will be introduced to Dash and Dot. They are fun and playful robots that can be programed with
Google Blockly. The students will need to think critically about how to communicate with the robots
by sequencing commands, using conditional statements, subroutines, and writing and calling
variables. Make your robot friends interact with each other, get them to perform a range of emotions
and behaviours, compete in challenges, and program some victory dance moves to celebrate.
Sr (Grade 5 – 8) Robotics, Mechanical Mania
Mechanisms can be combined to create very complex behavior in machines and robots. Transmitting the mechanical power from the drive motors of your robot to the various wheels, arms, and attachments requires selecting between a number of different gear systems, pulley systems, belt drive combinations, cam systems, lever arms, and multiple linkage systems. But which is best to use for your application? A robot that can lift, race, walk, jump, or move its mouth and eyes requires complex engineering. Can mechanisms be used in combination? Students will explore in depth the advantages and disadvantages of different mechanisms as they design robots to accomplish exciting tasks. Master the skill of mechanical robotic design!
W eek of July 20 th ($350) & W eek of Aug 10 th ($350)
Jr (Grade 1 – 4) Robotics, Power and Parts
Energy is very important for our daily lives and for robots too. Just like we need food to work and play, robots and machines need energy to move and think. In this course students will build robots with different power sources to understand the ways we generate and store. Through the activities, students will learn how energy is generated, measured and consumed in our daily lives as well as the challenges associated with energy generation. Part of using less energy comes from understanding and selecting better materials that make things lighter and stronger. Students will also get an understanding of what types of materials they can use to build with; including fasteners and safe adhesives available to join parts together. They will use their creativity to design and build solutions to the challenges provided by customizing their designs, utilizing the principles taught in the class, ultimately taking some of their designs home. Sr (Grade 5 – 8) Programming, Jump into Jade
This course takes advantage of the new and exciting Jade robot; which is a tank like vehicle with a built in spectrometer, infrared distance sensors, light sensors, a speaker, six LED's and an OLED display. In this programming course, students will focus on using variables in different data structures (such as lists, coordinate grids, and trees) to solve various engaging challenges using the robot and its sensors.

Please read the following very carefully to ensure that you fully understand the legalities before
you sign. We, the undersigned, do hereby represent that all statements made by us on the enrolment form
are correct. In consideration of acceptance of my child as a participant at the Robotics summer
camp at Kennedy Montessori School, we realize that young children, even under close supervision,
will have occasional accidents. We understand that there are always risks of student injury, and
damage to personal property because of the many activities in which the students are involved and
we accept and assume these risks. Therefore, we hereby release indemnity, and hold Kennedy
Montessori School and Logics Academy, their agents and employees, harmless from any and all
claims, damages, and other liabilities for injuries to my child.
Kennedy Montessori School and Logics Academy reserve the right to accept or reject any application
and also to request the withdrawal of any child if, in the opinion of the school, this action is to the
benefit of the other students at the camp.
Furthermore, I,________________________ the parent/guardian of________________________,
understand that in the event of an accident or illness occurring to my child while at camp, Kennedy
Montessori and Logics Academy will make every attempt to contact me and/or my spouse. If,
however, I, or my spouse cannot be reached I hereby give Kennedy Montessori School and Logics
Academy, their Directors, Officers, Agents or Employees authority to act on my behalf in case of an
emergency and to take appropriate steps to have a Doctor attend to my child. Should any staff
member determine, in his/her sole discretion, that the delay needed to contact the parent/guardian
could result in unwarranted risk to the child, the staff member will waive the attempt to contact the
parent/guardian and seek immediate treatment. If appropriate, 911 will be contacted. In nonemergency situations, first aid or similar care will be provided.
By signing this agreement, we acknowledge that we have read, understood, and are in agreement
with its provisions.
