ROBOTICS MAKERSPACE
Ready, set, robot! At our Robotics Makerspace camp, young innovators dive into the exciting world of building and coding with LEGO WeDo, Spike Prime, and VEX Robotics kits.
Through fun Olympic-themed challenges like shot put, sprinting, climbing, and wrestling, campers will learn to design, build, and program their own robots using simple block coding.
Along the way, they’ll develop key skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and creative thinking. Daily mini-competitions keep the energy high, as kids race to build the best-performing bots. It’s the perfect hands-on introduction to robotics and coding—where confidence grows and imaginations come to life!
Using the Lego Spike and VEX kits campers will enjoy many fun, hands-on projects building and programming Robots.
Campers will spend the week brainstorming, building and experimenting with these amazing robots, all the while developing creativity, imagination and problem-solving skills.
Campers will also learn to code using VEX and Spike software and be expected to then use these coding skills to solve daily challenges. A challenging but super fun Camp.
