LEGO® BattleBot Engineering, Invention & 3D Printing MegaCamp

Our MegaCamp combines both our morning and afternoon programs, with a supervised lunch and recess break in between. By attending both sessions, students earn points during two rounds of robotics challenges—doubling their chances to win tall trophies, gain new skills, and enjoy twice the fun!  Your child’s LEGO® obsession can spark a lifelong love for STEM. Sign up now for the LEGO® BattleBot Engineering, Invention & 3D Printing MegaCamp, and watch them transform into inventive creators and confident problem-solvers—ready to excel in today’s digital world!

Course Description

The path to an epic LEGO® showdown starts here! Combining the excitement of robotics with the creativity of invention and 3D printing, this mega camp is designed for young innovators ages 4–8 (with a Senior track for kids 8+). Perfect for kids ages 4–8, this camp nurtures budding engineers, inventors, and programmers through hands-on activities, friendly competitions, and exciting challenges.  In the morning, campers dive into rapid prototyping—dreaming up and constructing awesome inventions using LEGO® Robotics and 3D printing tools. They also win points towards trophies with LEGO robotic challenges.  Then, during the afternoon, they’ll learn to build, program, and battle LEGO® Robots in friendly competitions.  Let the LEGO battles begin!

In this course, your child will enjoy:

• Rapid Prototyping & Invention: Campers quickly build models of their own invention ideas using LEGO® Robotics or 3D printing.
• Shark Tank-Style Presentations: Kids work in teams then pitch their prototypes to an encouraging panel, boosting their communication skills and creativity.
• Skill-Building Fun: From coding to 3D modeling, each project enhances problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking.  Campers gain confidence and have a blast doing it!
• Hands-On Robotics: Campers build LEGO® attachments on robots to accomplish handy tasks such as feed the pet and pick up LEGOs and win points towards trophies.  Campers also build and program a robot for epic challenges.  Campers work with several types of robots: Robot Academy Arduino LEGO® Robot, mTiny, and LEGO® Codey Rocky.  Returning with your robot that you built last year? New robotics add-on sets available for returning campers with their robot: Lights and Sounds Add-on set or Robotic Arm.
• BattleBot Showdowns & Laser Tag: Fun, age-appropriate challenges—like navigating mazes, Laser Tag, and Robot Wars—bring STEM concepts to life.
• Earn Points for Trophies: Achievements are celebrated with trophies, ribbons and medals to reward teamwork, creativity, and technical skills.  Instructors work with campers to ensure all succeed.
• Master Key STEM Skills: From coding and engineering to teamwork and problem-solving, campers gain confidence and have a blast doing it!
