Camps – Bothell

Loops! Jumps! Hair-pin bends! What's the most exciting roller coaster you can imagine? Now come and come build it. In this camp, apprentices join a team of like-minded engineers to dream up, design and construct a twisty downhill run. They'll turn cardboard, paper, straws and other household materials into a roller coaster... for marbles! Apprentices will learn every step of the design process as they research, prototype, test and assemble their marble run. By the end of the week they'll have built a fascinating, gravity-defying structure, that combines creativity with their new engineering skills. Let's Get Building!

Calling all young builders and creative minds! In this action-packed LEGO® Explore Boot Camp Series, kids will dive into a world of hands-on robotics, building challenges, problem-solving, and imaginative play. Each session will introduce exciting new themes, from constructing moving machines to exploring basic engineering and design concepts. Through teamwork and guided activities, campers will enhance their fine motor skills, creativity, and critical thinking—all while having tons of fun! Whether they’re budding engineers or first-time builders, this camp is the perfect place to learn, explore, and create with LEGO®!

Start with an idea, awaken it on the screen, and then bring it to life right in front of you. Digital storytelling meets fabrication in this camp, which taps into kids’ creativity across the entire STEAM spectrum. From sports to entertainment, apprentices will start each day with a new theme and follow their imaginations through a series of activities. They’ll use digital art skills and coding to create characters and stories in Scratch Jr., a visual programming language that gives kids their first taste of coding. From there, they’ll bring these characters into the real-world using principles of fabrication. Building mini games to designing graphics – it’s all about sparking ideas and using STEAM principles to tell stories. Come and find the exciting worlds that are waiting to be discovered in your imagination!

Calling all robotics enthusiasts to join us for a week-long Vex IQ Robotics Competition Boot Camp! Interested and committed campers will be invited to join the new Steamoji Vex IQ Competitive robotics team this fall. Apprentices ages 8-12 will be able to compete in designing, building and programming robots for different tasks. It's a fun and hands-on way to develop coding, engineering, robotics, and teamwork skills!
