Robotics
Campbell Hall inspires students to become leaders in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) through K-12 robotics offerings. Elementary students first learn the basics using Beebots, Cubelets, Dash, and Lego Mindstorms. They later learn sequencing, estimation, problemsolving, programming, and coding through inquiry and creativity, then ultimately build their own robots.
In the upper school Applied Robotics course, students use a fully functional NAO robot and learn to program in a GUI environment, Choregraphe, and Python programming language. The course looks at case studies in various fields of real-world robotics exploring robotic factories, exoskeletal mobility aids, prosthetic limbs, and the function of devices like 3D printers.
High school students can also join the competitive Robotics Team which participates in FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics where they gain real, hands-on, technical engineering training, and develop leadership skills. Through planning, designing, building, and programming a robot that competes against others, team members gain real, hands-on, technical engineering training, and develop skills in leadership, collaboration, communication, planning, fundraising, public relations, and more. Students leave the team inspired to pursue STEAM in their careers. Learn more by visiting the
