Out-of-this-World Model Robot Making Camp

9:00 a.m. – 12:00, Monday-Friday, June 3-7, 2024

Robotic explorers from Earth have visited every planet, as well as numerous moons, asteroids, and comets in our solar system. With instruction and assistance from Imperial Centre science education staff, participants ages 7-12 years of age will create their own out-of-this-world robot sculpture. Drop-off and pick-up are at the Children’s Museum & Science Center Classroom. Participants will learn a variety of creative model building techniques some of which are used by Hollywood special effects wizards. Techniques explored may include, wire armatures, scratch building, and kit-bashing. Before taking home their unique creations, participants will have their work placed in a special short-term public display, in the museum’s Astronomy Gallery, alongside museum’s Robot Zoo exhibit, already on display. Drop-off and pick-up are at the Children’s Museum & Science Center Classroom. (Registration Required: $75.00 / Ages 7-12 Years / To register, please visit online or call (252) 972-1266 during regular business hours.)
