Not as advertised!
We signed up for the robotics camp at Emory University. We understood it as learning about robotics and coding. When I asked my son everyday what he did, he mentioned they would play with the robots, but there was no coding. When we arrived on Friday for the “presentation”, our teacher was 15 minutes late and the robots were just expensive toys that the kids controlled on an IPAD. My son was also in a corner crying because the battery on his robot died and no one noticed he was upset until I started looking for a way to help him. The teachers were all hanging out in another part of the room. No coding, no explaining how the robots worked or why, and the teachers did not seem invested in the kids the way we have felt at other camps. This was the most expensive camp of the summer and it turned out to basically be a daycare experience. In addition, the staff was not trained well for pick up and drop off. My son’s grandparents picked him up one afternoon and a woman gave them the code word used for pick up by mistake rather than asking for it. This is a big safety concern. I am giving this review 2 stars because the teachers were nice enough and my son had an okay time with playing with the other kids and going to the pool. Not at all what was advertised though, and had much better experiences at other camps that did not cost nearly as much.
