MINECRAFT COMPUTER CAMP

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.

Parents: While your child thinks they’re playing, we’re secretly using the game to teach technology, design, problem solving, and presentation skills (insert evil laugh here). If screen time is a concern of yours you will prefer the robotics or animation classes.

This camp is for ages 8 to 13. 


LEGO JR. ROBOTicS CAMP

LEGO WeDo Robot

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!

This camp is for ages 6 to 9. Note: If your 9-year-old is advanced and interested in coding, they may prefer our introduction to Sr. Robotics camp theme. Sorry students who are not yet 6 may not attend regardless of lego proficiency. Proof of age will be checked.
