ROBOTICS MAKERSPACE
Did you know there's currently a large gap in students' confidence in STEM subjects? Build your students’ confidence in learning while helping them develop 21st-century skills through Robotics. Students will be engaged in building, coding, and testing Lego robots using Spike Prime and VEX kits. Students will build their confidence in problem solving, building, and team-work as they create and code robots such as “Bottecelli,” “Sumo,” “Golf,” & “Roller Coaster” then get creative as they solve fun and exciting challenges.
Using both the Lego WeDo and VEX Robotics your child will build numerous Robots based on the Olympics. Campers will build robots for different events such as shot put, sprinting, climbing, and wrestling. Campers will be introduced to programming using simple block coding inside the VEX classroom software. Every day we will have mini competitions where campers compete against each other (and in teams) to see who can build the best Robot. All in all, a fun camp and a great introduction to Robotics and Coding.
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.
"So appreciative of these teachers who helped my son and other children in the LEGO Robotics camp. The kids had a very nice experience"

We have a full-time nurse on site for every camp week operating from the schools’ health centres. Our nurses are there to administer medication, first aid and support with all COVID-19 reporting, as needed. The nurse is available Monday morning to collect any medications and speak to parents before camp starts. Our Camp Asia team are all first-aid trained.
Healthy Lunch and snacks (cooked fresh daily) are included in the cost of your camp. If your child is a vegetarian, does not or cannot eat beef, pork, seafood, dairy or eggs or has other dietary needs, simply tell us beforehand in your child’s details online. Please also note that Camp Asia has a nut-minimisation policy.
We offer a highly convenient, safe, secure and sociable bus service to and from camp, calling at a stop near your home. In line with COVID-19 regulations, buses will be cleaned before and after every journey.
