This week-long summer camp introduces students to coding basics, Arduino, and technology similar to what is used in professional healthcare settings. Students will build simplified versions of sensors like a temperature probe, pulse oximeter, heart rate sensor, touchless temperature sensor, and ultrasound! 

Make sure to do the pre-academy prep before the class starts (takes ~20 min).

The STEM Camp KIT

Hopefully before the camp starts, you got your Arduino and Health Sensor Kit from Mr. Dorsey. 
Explore your kit to get familiar with some of the components we will be using. 
If you do not have your kit by the weekend before your camp starts, contact Mr. Dorsey. 

If you are a teacher or student that would like to try these activities on your own, use our website's "contact us" page to get a list of supplies to buy using Amazon Prime. (single kits are ~$120)

https://www.rcccamp.org/contact-us.html 
Your program can save money buying kit components in bulk.  (~$85 per kit in bulk, >5 students) 

Main Kit Components

Contact Mr. Dorsey ASAP if your kit is missing one of these components. 
Your kit has other parts, but these ones are essential for our main lessons.
