CAMP DESCRIPTIONS
Wild Wacky Robotics
Targeted Ages Group: 7-9
Are you ready to dive into a world of walking robots, gears, pulleys, and endless creativity? Join us for this exciting class where students will explore the basics of LEGO mechanics and simple machines, bringing their wildest robot ideas to life! Throughout the course, students will work in rotating teams to create unique and functional robots using LEGO Technic pieces. The best part? These robots can move, steer, and be controlled by the students themselves!
Learning Goals
MECHA – Master Builder
Targeted Age Group: 7-9
Campers will be challenged to set their goals high towards Mecha-Master Builder. To become a Mecha-Master Builder campers must conquer the concepts of basic engineering concepts and l explore the use of gears, pulleys, wheels and axles, motors and so much more. This camp will open new windows, leading to the fun and mechanical world of robotics. Campers will use LEGO elements and motors to explore the world of engineering and robotics.

Robotics Space Out of this world
Targeted Ages Group: 7-9
This “Space Out of This World – Robotics” camp experience would be a truly unique way for campers to dive deep into space exploration, robotics, and the challenges of life as an astronaut, all while engaging in hands-on activities that simulate real-world space missions. The combination of building robots, navigating Martian terrains, and learning about space science would be both educational and fun!
Learning Goals
What the Bot!
Targeted Ages Group: 9-12
Campers will follow design instructions and build a bot to compete with other campers. Campers will participate in challenging competitions but it’s not over yet! Let’s modify Like a BOSS! with their teammates to test their robot’s structural integrity and maneuverability. Time to THINK outside the BOT! How can I make the Bot go faster? How can I make it more powerful? These are the questions the campers will be faced during their challenging competitions. Campers will use LEGO Technic pieces that come together to create movable, steerable, controlled robots.
Learning Goals
- Engineering Concepts
- Structural Integrity
- Gear Ratios-The need for Speed
- Simple Machine to Robotics
Robo-Rangers: Engineering the Future
Targeted Age Group: 9-12
Let’s Think in Reverse – As students learn how to reverse-engineer robots, they’ll understand how existing designs can be improved and how to approach challenges from new angles. The hands-on activities, challenges, and projects will encourage campers to think forward in problem-solving and future possibilities in technology. Life doesn’t always come with an instruction book, and neither do your robots. In this unique, hands-on robotics camp, campers will dive into space exploration and robotics while learning the fundamentals of engineering by building their own robots. They’ll explore how to recreate, improve, and innovate their designs in real-world situations, all while learning teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Learning Goals
-
Foster creativity, critical thinking, and innovation.
-
Build teamwork and communication skills through collaborative projects.
-
Introduce students to basic engineering and robotics principles while having fun.
Space Robotics- Galaxy Explorer
Targeted ages: 9-12
Blast off into the future of space exploration at the Space Robotics: Galaxy Explorers Summer Camp! This exciting, hands-on camp offers kids the opportunity to explore the wonders of robotics and space science through interactive activities and fun, engaging projects.
Throughout the camp, young explorers will:
Learning Goals
It’s a Code Thing! MicroBlocks & MicroBits! Level 1 Beginner
Targeted ages 9-12
The MicroBits program introduces young learners to the exciting world of computer programming in a fun and hands-on way! The MicroBits is a small, pocket-sized computer that is revolutionizing how students learn coding. Whether through Microsoft Make Code, Python, or Scratch, MicroBits provide an engaging and interactive platform for learners to explore computing languages. This device, perfect for ages 7-11 and 11-14, allows learners to develop problem-solving and coding skills through creativity and play. It’s a versatile tool that can be used anytime, anywhere – just unplug it and go!
Learning Goals
* Take-home Experience: Each camper will receive a MicroBits computer to take home, enabling them to continue their coding journey beyond the camp. This allows for an extended learning experience where campers can continue practicing and experimenting with their new skills.
Code-BOTZ! (Coding & Robotics)
Targeted ages 9-12
Code-BOTZ! Level 1 introduces young learners to the basics of coding in a fun and interactive way using Sphero robots. Through this program, kids aged 9-12 will learn how to program their own Sphero robots to perform tasks and solve challenges, making coding accessible and enjoyable! Sphero is a small, durable, and interactive robot shaped like a sphere. Despite its compact size, Sphero is packed with features that make it an excellent tool for teaching coding and STEM concepts. Students use provided tablets to connect to the Sphero robot via Bluetooth. Through this connection, they can control and program the robot to perform various tasks.
Learning Goals
Coder Critters (CC)
Targeted grade(s) K-2
Let’s meet INDI! This workshop is all about revving up STEAM learning with the INDI robot. This workshop is entry level robot that is designed to introduce early learners to the fundamentals of computational thinking, STEAM, and computer science principles. INDI encourages open ended, imaginative play-based learning with real-life scenarios as leaners build custom mazes, solve puzzles, and drive. As students learn pattern recognition, creating and using algorithms, decomposition, and understanding abstractions they will become better thinkers and problem solvers. Learning stages your child will be introduced to using INDI.
- Exploration – All learners will benefit to freely explore something new in every lesson.
- Skill Building – Skill building highlights the skills used during a specific activity.
- Challenge- Learners will apply their skills and ideas to successfully complete a challenge.
