I just finished teaching a robotics course for elementary and middle school
teachers on how to incorporate lego, robotics, and MLCAD into their classrooms.
During one week of the course teachers were paired up with small groups of
4th-8th grade students in a summer camp to practice what they were learning. I
use the kids' camp fees to purchase the robotics equipment teachers used during
the class. After sucessfully completing the course each teacher gets to keep
the equipment for their classroom. This gives teachers training, curriculum,
experience, and equipment!
The theme for our summer camp was Mars Exploration. You can see photos and
video clips here:

Part of our camp included driving a Mars rover on a simulated Mars yard. You
can drive our rover and others here:

Enjoy!
