Area students are invited to a Summer Engineering and Manufacturing Camp, or SEaM Camp, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Friday, July 10-14, at Central Lakes College's Staples campus. The camp provides students in grades 6-12 with an opportunity to experience hands-on electronics, motor controllers, computer aided drafting, manufacturing machining and robotics automated systems.

At the end of the week, students will compete in a battlebot competition, including an obstacle course, robot hockey and the battlebot demolition, Awards will be awarded to first-, second- and third-place teams.
Cost is $200 per camper, and scholarships are available. Transportation from Brainerd to the Staples campus is also available. Register by June 23.
