1073's Camp Force is an in-person, week-long robotics day camp for students aged 12-14 who are residents of either Brookline or Hollis, NH. Designed to be a fun, Covid-19 safe competition, students will be split into groups of four each led by a member, comprised of both students and mentors, of Team 1073 to learn basic skills needed in the FIRST® Robotics Program. They will be tasked with designing a robot to compete in a game that will be revealed on the first day. In addition to basic programming and design principles, they will learn how to work with a team and make decisions. On Friday, teams will go head-to-head in a competition to demonstrate the skills they learned. The cost of the camp is $150. Team 1073 will be accepting several forms of payment.

FAQ's
Is this camp in-person? How are you ensuring safety?
We are planning on hosting this in-person camp with new safety protocols created by 1073's award-winning Safety subgroup, working closely with the HB school administration. Individual student groups will be assigned to two separate rooms, and each student will be given ample space within individual workstations to fulfill social distancing requirements. We plan on providing each student with a team computer for the duration of the camp so that they may complete programming and CAD work individually. For more information on 1073's COVID-19 safety practices, please email ceo@frc1073.org, or our resident safety captain at alex.h@frc1073.org.
