Some are simple and do just one task\, others are complex and make human like decisions based on information sensed from the world around them. Come join us as we examine basic automatons and complex rovers that explore other planets and extreme environments on Earth. \nAfter gaining an understanding of the hardware\, software\, and concepts that govern robotics\, campers will build their own robot to take a unique journey and collect information from their environment and determine their path. Creativity and skill will reveal which designs succeed at their tasks and rise to the top\, and which spin aimlessly in circles. \n• Learn basic components of robots and how to pull them together to make a complete design\n• Discuss the ethical implications of building robots\n• Explore the strategies that separate basic commands from artificial intelligence\n• Experiment with different sensors to see what they can reveal about the world around us\n• Pit your robot against others to see which design works best\n• Practice the basics of coding for micro-controllers\, the brains of robots\n• Recreational and fun activities\, including exploring the gifts of the Blue Ridge mountains. May include day trips such as hiking and picnicking\, visits to waterfalls and swimming\, tubing (with professional outfitters)\, interacting with other local camp activities\, places and events. \n\nRegister Now \n URL:https://www.pari.edu/event/a-rovers-journey/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200719 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200731 DTSTAMP:20200706T010715 CREATED:20200121T162411Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200121T170342Z UID:2162-1595116800-1596153599@www.pari.edu SUMMARY:Camp - Operation Nebula Exoplanet - Mini Session DESCRIPTION:CAMP OPERATION NEBULA (A good precursor to – Camp Above & Beyond)\nOperation NEBULA is a simulated space mission that teaches leadership\, teamwork\, and STEM principles while exposing everyone to fun and creative experiences. The camp is an exciting\, immersive journey amidst our campus’ history\, and its critical role in the space race. Each instance of Operation Nebula will be different. One is a mission to Mars the other will be a mission to a mystery exoplanet.\n• Learn the critical components of a space mission\n• Explore factors ranging from science objectives and physical requirements of a space craft to human health\n and safety and political and social implications of long-term missions\n• Form teams to be responsible for one facet of a complex mission and coordinate with other teams to ensure\n all teams are working to form a cohesive successful plan\n• Present findings and recommendations and advocate for your teams plans to the larger group\n• Get hands-on experience with tools researchers use to study space\n• Recreational and fun activities\, including exploring the gifts of the Blue Ridge mountains. May include day\n trips such as hiking and picnicking\, visits to waterfalls and swimming\, tubing (with professional\n outfitters)\, interacting with other local camp activities\, places and events. \n\nRegister Now \n URL:https://www.pari.edu/event/camp-operation-nebula-mini-session/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200720 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200721 DTSTAMP:20200706T010715 CREATED:20200120T005129Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200120T005129Z UID:1997-1595203200-1595289599@www.pari.edu SUMMARY:New Moon DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.pari.edu/event/new-moon-7/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200720 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200721 DTSTAMP:20200706T010715 CREATED:20200120T005157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200120T005157Z UID:1999-1595203200-1595289599@www.pari.edu SUMMARY:Saturn at Opposition DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.pari.edu/event/saturn-at-opposition/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200724T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200724T220000 DTSTAMP:20200706T010715 CREATED:20200305T140309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200305T145112Z UID:2383-1595620800-1595628000@www.pari.edu SUMMARY:Music Under the Milky Way DESCRIPTION:Join us on the evening of July 24\, 2020 as we marvel at the views through an array of optical telescopes and see what a DARK sky actually looks like as The McCall Brothers Band lead us into a relaxing evening as we explore each of the visible planets. Visit a few of the Wonders of our Milky Way and journey to one of our neighboring galaxies. This event is designed for all ages\, so bring the entire family. Light snacks will be provided.\nIf inclement weather prevents the outdoor observations\, this program will be moved inside for a journey of the night sky through planetarium shows\, live music and snacks. \n***Refunds will not be made as this is a rain or shine event. \nReservations are required. Gates will open 30 minutes before the start of the event\, and close 30 minutes after the start of the event. \n\nREGISTER NOW \n URL:https://www.pari.edu/event/music-under-the-milky-way-2/ LOCATION:The Learning Center at PARI\, 1 PARI Dr.\, Rosman\, NC\, 28772-9626\, United States END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
