During Build It Workspaces competitive robotics summer camp, approximately 20 students and young adults received training in prominent computer aided design (CAD) software, Fusion 360, as a joint venture with KETIV, a local engineering consulting firm.The camp is lead by local First Robotics Competition (FRC)Team #6220, the same team which has previously won the FRC Orange County Regionals a first for the Los Alamitos community.

Build It Workspace owner Mark Lengsfeld said, These children are our future engineers.They grab onto robotics and never look back.In the Build It camps and classes, the children are exposed to and taught mastery over a variety of technology and engineering concepts.

Jack van der Linden, engineer of Team #6220, said, The kids are learning the inner workings of parts and pieces and of how things work.

Also in attendance was nearby FRC Team #4999 hailing from the Long Beach area. Brian Mongkolpoonsuk and Alex Alvarez representatives of KETIV provided invaluable CAD training to be utilized for the next competitive season. Team #4999will apply these new skills to aid in the design and constructions of a racing robot for use in the Fall competition.
