Virtual Summer Camp Program with STEAM Education from Sony

Sony is launching the virtual Summer Camp program to support kids ages 8-12 with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Education.  The program will focus on foundational principles of design, coding and robotics.  The Summer Camp program will utilize KOOV – Sony’s all-in-one coding, robotics and design kit that combines digital coding with physical building to teach the next generation of innovators. 

The Summer Camp program bundle will offer sessions from June through August, consisting of daily, one-hour sessions with live instruction. Camp participants will have access to instructors trained in Computer Science, and ongoing interaction with other participants in small class sizes.

They will each receive a KOOV kit (model EKV100U)^1,2,3  as part of their registration, for use during the program and beyond. Over the course of each four-day camp session, participants will be challenged with tasks including:

• Applying robotics concepts to configure a microcontroller 
• Completing coding tasks for movement and sound 
• Building, programming and observing emotion-based responses 
• Prototyping and presenting original creations

Additionally, there will be optional, sequential class offerings for kids interested in continuing their STEAM education beyond the standard sessions. The 2.0 class will be focused on real world applications of robotics and coding, while the 3.0 class will get creative with free building and helping kids to code their own designs.

Sony is offering an early bird promotion of $100 off from March 8-31, 2021.  Click here to learn more about the program and register now.
