New and returning students invited. Youth Enrichment League {YEL!} fencing has evolved. Olympic Coach Ro Sobalvarro now heads up {YEL!}’s curriculum, instructor training and tournament consultation. Coach Sobalvarro brings with him an immense knowledge of youth, national and international fencing. We keep it fun, too. Your favorite instructors return with more knowledge, refined coaching skills and, of course, your favorite fencing games and arm bands. Safety is our first priority. We supply safety swords, protective masks, chest plates and jackets, in a high-octane, inclusive environment.

Using LEGO® Mindstorms software and LEGO® EV3 bricks and technology, students build a robot to deliver animals to safety, put cows out to pasture, reunite separated panda bears and more. In this year’s Youth Enrichment League {YEL!} summer camp, our focus is on the FIRST® LEGO® League’s challenges. Students will design, build, program, test and modify multiple robots using the LEGO® Mindstorms EV3 robotics system. Then use their team’s robot (usually teams of three) to complete various challenges related to our animal friends. Our summer camp is designed to prepare students for participation in the FIRST® LEGO® League annual robotics competition. Put an end to summer brain drain.

The next evolution in youth robotics is here! Build a seeing-sensing robot using LEGO® Bricks, then program it to complete unique tasks and challenges. Next, build a rescue helicopter to find animals in need of assistance and message Headquarters with status updates. Students LEARN basic engineering and computer coding concepts; BUILD multiple LEGO® Bricks projects; EXPLORE how the projects and programming complement each other; and PLAY with different building and programming options.
