Olney-Bissell School last week hosted a summer camp that allowed students to take on roles as engineers, programs and inventors using LEGO MINDSTORMS education robot kits.

Using the kits, they constructed different creations, including a snake, a robot and scorpion. Then using a computer, they were able to program the creations to complete simple tasks such as walking or throwing a ball.
