The Hamster Odyssey is a multi-generational mission. We offer an exclusive opportunity for High School Juniors & Seniors to serve as Junior Mentors.
Leadership Credits
KSEA and SNUAA Mentorship
“Teaching is the highest form of understanding.”
“We believe in a curriculum that respects a child’s intellect. Our program isn’t just about ‘playing with robots’; it is designed by professional engineers of KSEA and SNUAA to introduce core mechanical principles and logical architecture that serve as the foundation for future STEM success.”
Academic Integrity
Instruction by college and high school students under the guidance of the KSEA and SNUAA members.
Unboxing and hardware orientation.
Students learn “Geometric Literacy” by programming the robot to trace perfect squares and triangles, mastering unit conversion and motor control.Introduction to Infrared (IR) and Light sensors.
Students program “Line Following” logic and create a robot that reacts to hand gestures or ambient brightness.Algorithmic thinking.
Teams use proximity sensors to solve complex mazes using “Right-Hand Rule” logic and obstacle avoidance techniques.Applying physics to robotics.
Students design solutions for speed trials, precision parking, and delicate object transport challenges.The ultimate showdown: “Robot Sumo.”
Students integrate all learned sensors to stay within a ring while finding opponents. Followed by a competition for parents.Bring your own laptop or Mac
