learners the opportunity to explore: a) design, b)testing, and c) the production of tools, technology, structures, and materials. Learning throughEngineering Design and Practice presented students with a series of projects over a yearlonginformal experience. In our case, learners were presented with engineering design problemswhere solutions are achieved via an actual project. Participants had access to a wide range ofresources that included human and content rich media, Arizona State University art museum andengineering laboratories, the Phoenix Zoo, the Arizona Science Center, a number of differenttypes of hardware and software technologies. The project therefore is the culmination of thelearning process, and the solution is the finished product

anengineered manufacturing, production, or processing environment. Good candidate tour targetsinclude facilities that use robotic arms. These operations can vary from automated welding andwarehousing facilities to materials and medical testing laboratories. The local soft drink bottlefilling plant is a great place for them to see an alternative form of high speed robotic operationperformed by robotic systems that don’t even come close to their preconceived image of what arobot should look like or do. The key point is to have the campers see robotics in action, thecomplexity of that action, and the impossibility of humans performing the same tasks.Robotic SystemsThe benefit of using robotics as a camp “Tool” is the degree of learning freedom that
