Lego BattleBot Engineering, Invention and 3D Printing MegaCamp

Camp Overview

Love LEGOs?  Love Robots? Unlock your child’s potential this summer at our Full Day Summer Camp! Tailored for kids ages 5 to 8 and 8 t0 14, our camp is an adventure into robotics, coding, 3D Printing, and engineering. It’s the perfect blend of fun and learning, designed to inspire and educate.  Students build and program a LEGO Robot to navigate mazes, compete in BattleBot championships to win medals, and create a 3D printed invention. Students complete robot challenges to earn points to win trophies to reward their achievements. Instructors provide individual help to make sure all students win trophies and are happy campers.

Ages 4 to 8 (Jr Camp) and 8 to 14 (Sr Camp)

Parents of 8 year-old can decide if they want their child in the Jr camp (Students are exposed to Building and Coding as the Instructors guide the students) or Sr camp (students are given instruction to build and code and instructors help when needed).

Long-Term Impact

• Strong STEM Foundation: Prepare your child for academic and career success.
• Creativity & Innovation: Enhance their ability to think creatively and solve problems.
• Resilience & Perseverance: Build resilience through hands-on challenges.

Camp Highlights

• LEGO Building: Daily hands-on LEGO activities, students win ribbons.
• Battlebot Competitions: Create and compete with custom-built robots, students win medals.
• Coding Challenges: Program robots to perform tasks like picking up LEGOs and navigating mazes with fun lights and sounds.
• 3D Printing: Design and print custom parts such as a LEGO or guitar pick.
• Showcase Day: Students gain confidence with trophies to highlight their robotic achievements.  Students complete robot challenges to earn points in the morning and afternoon sessions. The trophies at the end of the camp are based on points earned by accomplishing robot challenges in the morning and afternoon sessions, so students have twice the chance to win tall trophies to reward their achievements. Our instructors provide individual help for students to ensure success.

This camp combines our 5-day morning and afternoon camps with a supervised lunch break in-between.

The morning session of the camp focuses on Lego Robotics InventionLAB and 3D Printing. 

Bring your ideas to life! We teach ‘rapid prototyping’, a technique that involves quickly building prototypes of invention ideas using LEGO Robotics or 3D printers. Kids design and build custom inventions with the help of their instructor and then present their prototypes to a Shark Tank panel (like on the TV show)! Kids enjoy presenting killer pitches to the encouraging judges Students complete robot challenges to earn points to win tall trophies to reward their achievements. We have individual help from Instructors to make sure that all students not only win trophies, but also gain confidence and a big smile. Students engage in programming, engineering, collaboration, problem-solving, data analysis, 3D Modeling and critical thinking.

The afternoon part of the camp focuses on building and programming robots.

Specifically crafted for young minds, this enriching program will introduce campers to a variety of robots, including:

• Robot Academy Arduino LEGO Robot
• mTiny
• Robot Academy’s Codey Rocky LEGO Robot

Program Highlights:

1. Hands-On Building and Coding:
   • Campers will build and code the Robot Academy Arduino LEGO Robot with the guidance of our experienced instructors.
   • Introduction to the fascinating Codey Rocky robot featuring Laser Tag, coding expressions, movement, and lights.
2. Engaging Challenges:
   • Navigate mazes, engage in BattleBot showdowns, and strategize in laser tag competitions.
   • Reinforce core principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
3. Skill Development:
   • Focus on mastering problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork.
   • Interactive, hands-on projects facilitated by seasoned instructors.
4. Rewards and Recognition:
   • Campers earn points through robot challenges to win trophies, recognizing their achievements.
   • Individual help from instructors ensures all students are successful and happy campers.
5. Brain Breaks:
   • Scheduled breaks to help our young campers stay refreshed and focused.

Camp Options:

• Junior Camp (Ages 8 and below): Students are exposed to building and coding with guidance from instructors.
• Senior Camp (Ages 8+): Students receive instructions to build and code, with instructors providing help as needed.
