Participating in Robotics is not just about learning to build and program robots; it’s a gateway to developing critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative skills that are essential in the 21st century. Students who participate in Robotics Camps gain hands-on experience with real-world engineering challenges, learn the value of teamwork, and ignite a passion for innovation that can lead to exciting educational and career opportunities in STEM fields. It’s an adventure where the thrill of creation meets the joy of discovery, setting the stage for a lifetime of learning and achievement.
We are happy to share that the registration fees collected for our Robotics Camps are not just an investment in your child’s future, but also a contribution to the sustainability of our Robotics program. 100% of the proceeds are generously donated to ‘the program’, directly supporting the purchase of materials, tools, and equipment needed for future projects and competitions. This ensures that our members have access to the best resources, fostering an environment where creativity and engineering can flourish. Thank you for being a part of this worthy cycle of learning and giving!

Description: In this workshop the focus is learning components about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) through daily fun activities and hands-on lessons that encourage curiosity, critical thinking and creativity.
Description: Learn about block programming and how to complete various tasks each day using a Maqueen Micro:Bit robot. Last day will be challenges to compete with and against other Maqueen robots. No robotics experience required.
Description: Great way to learn more about programming and hardware interaction with the Arduino programming language. At the end, you will have your very own autonomous robot. Price includes the SparkFun Inverntor’s Kit which you will be able to take home.
Description: The beginning level workshop you will assemble and level your pre-purchased (included in the cost) 3D Printer Ender 3 V2 NEO, source models, set up for printing and solve common issues. At the end of this workshop, you be able to take home any projects you make as well as your 3D Printer.
Description: Join this fun workshop where you will complete art projects each day using various art media. This workshop you will learn and use the 7 Elements of Art also known as the “building blocks” for creating something. No art experience is necessary.
