Central Lakes College and the Center of Excellence at Bemidji State University have scheduled the five-day Summer Engineering and Manufacturing (SEaM) Camp for July 11-15 at the Staples campus of CLC. SEaM camp is for students in grades 6-12 and runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. during each of the five days. It is an opportunity to experience hands-on electronics, motor controllers, mechanical drafting, manufacturing machining, and robotics automated systems. Participants will build their “Battlebots” from kits having hundreds of parts. Each student works with a teammate to assemble a robot that is customized for capabilities in maneuvering an obstacle course or controlling weapons for Battlebot wars in the competition held on the last day of camp. The fee is $200 per camper, including shirts, with need-based scholarships available. Bus transportation from the Brainerd campus to Staples is provided.
