Pattern structures are foundational to the P 3 F because they express both rules for creatingstructures and the relationships between structures in space and time. 19 They also provide a meansfor descriptively chunking information into manageable units referenced by a metaphoric name. 50Software design students should be familiar with design patterns as they are a recommended part ofthe undergraduate curriculum as well as commonly used in professional practice. 1 The Design Principles Pattern Language uses a common design pattern format to express anddocument the fifteen fundamental design principles in the P 3 F. 67 Use of the pattern structureprovides supplemental contextual and relational information that helps explain how, when, where

These topics can be introduced subtly in engaging ways through a combination ofmini-lectures, demonstrations, and build activities.In this paper, the curriculum of the 2010 and 2011 summer camps are presented. The curriculumis broken into a number of topics: robotics 101, robot motion, robot sensing, robot software, androbot intelligence. For each topic, the sub-topics, build activities, and demonstrations will bedescribed. The camp’s two culminating competitive events will also be described; a robot BattleBot competition (as shown in Figure 1) and a robot talent
