Robotics – VEX IQ
For students finishing Grades 2–4 and Grades 5–7
Explore the fundamentals of building and programming robots in a hands-on, team-based environment.
This camp is designed for students who are new to robotics or have limited experience. Using the VEX IQ platform, students will learn how to build a working robot and program it to perform tasks. They’ll explore concepts like motors, sensors, movement, and basic logic. Throughout the week, students will work in small teams to complete design challenges and prepare for a friendly mini-competition at the end.
Grades 5–7: July 7–11 (5 days)
Grades 2–4: August 18–21 (4 days)
No prior robotics experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to build and explore.
Computer Engineering
For students finishing Grades 6–8
A beginner-friendly introduction to computer programming and electronics.
This camp is perfect for students who are curious about how technology works — no prior experience needed. Students will learn the basics of Python programming and use it to control electronic components such as LEDs, sensors, and buzzers. They’ll also be introduced to simple circuits and how software can interact with hardware in fun, meaningful ways.
Dates: July 14–17 (4 days)
This is a great introduction for any student curious about how software and hardware work together.
Engineering Design
For students finishing Grades 6–8
Learn how to design and prototype real-world solutions through daily hands-on challenges.
This camp introduces students to engineering and product design. Students will use 3D modeling software to design digital objects and bring some of them to life with 3D printing. Each day, they’ll face a creative design challenge — from building structures to solving practical problems using limited materials — all while learning how engineers approach real-world issues.
Dates: August 11–15 (5 days)
This camp emphasizes teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. Students may take home their 3D-printed designs at the end of the week.
