    The document outlines a robotics camp for middle school girls held in spring 2011. It was co-led by Daniel Cohen and Kyle Soper with Jamal Gumbs as a group member. The challenges included creating lesson plans, dealing with project problems and resources, and scheduling around FCAT and spring break. The goals were to make projects fun through team-building, videos, and candy while exploring Lego Mindstorm software in a less intimidating way. Problems encountered were initial communication errors, scheduling meetings, and realizing they had the newer NXT 2.0 kits instead of the expected NXT 1.0 with fewer pieces. Continuing the camp was deemed important for developing critical thinking and experience in an enjoyable topic.
