Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto

For the third consecutive year, the Cleveland Public Library is partnering with the Tri-C Youth Technology Academy to present a Robotics Camp at five library branches: Collinwood, Hough, Rockport, South and Sterling.  Enterprising students from Cleveland neighborhoods are building Lego Mindstorm robots over the four week program as a way to spark their interest in science and technology while learning computer programming, engineering, math and teamwork.  Robotics as a field of study has grown exponentially in the past ten years.  The skills learned at Robotics Camp 2008 will serve the participants for years to come.  Although this year's robotics camp is already in full swing, you can prepare for next year by checking out some of the books listed below.
