This camp is a one-day taste of our "Build to Solve" program that we deliver at after-school programs. It's designed to get kids off screens and into hand-on STEM fun! Through exciting, age-appropriate projects, campers will engineer, build, create, and explore real-world skills—all while collaborating with new friends.

Welcome to RoboCity, a city powered by imagination, engineering, and moving machines!

In this hands-on STEM camp, young makers will design and build their own robots while creating a miniature city where their inventions can live, move, and shine.

Campers will:

• Build two original robots using creative materials and beginner electronics
• Bring their robots to life with code
• Design and construct elements of a growing mini city
• Explore circuits, batteries, LEDs, and more
• Collaborate to combine their creations into one shared Robot Metropolis

This is more than just building projects, campers will learn to think like engineers, problem-solve like designers, and collaborate like real-world architects and robotics teams.

Creativity meets coding. Engineering meets imagination. Welcome to RoboCity!

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!

Skills: Storytelling, Coding, Digital Arts, Fabrication

Incoming! In this camp, Apprentices will become engineers as they work in teams to build the strongest catapult and tallest tower that they can. To conquer the challenge, they'll learn about levers and mechanical advantage, building techniques and balance. As well as becoming masterful engineers, they’ll tap into their creative side and make colorful birds and mascots to launch from the catapult. On the last day, teams will face off to try and knock down their opponents' towers before their tower is tumbled, too!

Skills: Building, Testing, Simple Structures, Levers, Mechanical Advantage, Applied Design Process, Team-work

It’s time for bright ideas! In this camp, Apprentices will work with key STEAM skills to create their own RGB lamp. Using a combination of coding, 3D modeling, 3D printing, and circuit-building, they’ll plan, design, and build a creation straight out of their imagination. During this camp, they’ll take their builds all the way from a pen-and-paper concept to a fully functional light feature, which they can proudly bring home at the end of the week. Let’s get building!

Skills: Coding, 3D Design & Printing, Electrical Circuits, Microcontrollers, Applied Design Process

Creativity meets coding. Engineering meets imagination. Welcome to RoboCity!

Have you ever wondered:

• How do self-driving cars see the road?
• How does facial recognition detect a face?
• How can a computer use a camera to control real-world devices?

In Coding the Future, campers dive into the world of computer vision and artificial intelligence using Python and OpenCV to answer these questions and more!

Throughout the week, they will:

• Build foundational Python programming skills
• Learn how computer vision systems process images and video
• Use OpenCV to create interactive, vision-based programs
• Combine computer vision with an Arduino to control electronic components
• Explore the relationship between AI and computer vision

By the end of the camp, students won’t just understand how AI “sees”, they’ll build their own working system that connects software and hardware together!

Introducing our first Steamoji x CircuitMess STEM camp...

Meet Spencer - your new talkative buddy that lights up when it sees you, answers your questions and even has a joke ready when you want a laugh!

Kids will learn everything they need to know to turn a pile of parts into their very own customized voice assistant that they'll take home at the end of the week:

• Learn building skills such as soldering and parts assembly
• Code your voice assistant using Python
• Find out about the “internet of things”
• Fabricate your own 3D printed parts to personalize your new pal
• Solve problems and share ideas with other makers

Let’s Get Building!

Please note - this camp is for kids ages 10 and up. Camp price includes a take-home “Spencer” kit (retail value of $160).

Start with your brainpower and finish with a bang! In this physical computing camp, apprentices combine coding with a series of other STEM activities to bring their programming skills into action!

It’s all about connecting the digital world and the real world. The goal? Create a motion-sensor machine that can launch an object, play a game or simply say “hello”. To get there, apprentices will learn to code an Arduino microcontroller, and connect it to a device they’ve built using electrical engineering and fabrication skills. Come and see how far your skills can go – literally!
