Calling all young lego robot designers! This is the best way to get started. Together, we’ll learn how to build cool robots and other machines. We’ll show you how to use gears, belts, motors, and computers to bring your robot to life by learning some programing. Student will engage in a mix of building activities including the lego robotic system WeDo 1.0 and 2.0, Lego Creator sets, crafts, board games and video games.

Parents: Designed specifically as an intro for younger kids, this camp covers all the basics of mechanics. They’ll be budding engineers by week’s end!

Available at all locations

This camp is for ages 6 to 9.  Note: Sorry students who are not yet 6 may not attend regardless of lego proficiency. Proof of age will be checked.

5 and 6 year olds want to join us at camp too! Introducing our newest camp theme for our youngest campers ever. Through our love of LEGO and Robots your children will get a head start on Computational thinking through Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstraction, and Algorithms and it will be FUN!

Got crazy-awesome lego skills? Or just getting started with lego robots? Either way, this camp is for you. We’ll break into groups to design and build our robots – and then focus on programming them to use a bunch of cool sensors… colour sensors, ultra-sonic sensors, gyro sensors, and touch sensors – we love sensors! And your robot will use them all to navigate the super-challenging walled maze. Then, at the end of the week, you’ll use your new mad programming skills and design your own robot to compete in the epic sumo battle! Will your robot have what it takes to beat the competition?

This camp is for ages 9 to 13.

Love Minecraft? Then join us for a week in this great virtual sandbox where you can build anything! We’ll cover the basics and then move on to redstone Minecraft machine building and how to design new texture images so you can digitally paint the entire look of your worlds. We will also get to experiment with some Mods that add features and change the game. Older students can try some coding using the Computer Craft mod.

This camp is for ages 8 to 13.
