POWER UP WITH ROBOTICS

Future Stars Robot Builders Camp is an exciting hands-on program for campers who love building, problem-solving, and exploring STEM through robotics. Designed for curious minds, this camp combines engaging robotics instruction with active recreational time for a well-balanced day.

Each morning begins with a robotics primer introducing essential building and programming concepts. Campers then dive into themed engineering challenges using LEGO WeDo, Ozobots, Sphero, Dash, LEGO Game Challenges, and more. From building catapults and battle bots to completing interactive robot missions, students build, test, and refine their creations while strengthening creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking skills.

Afternoons feature recreational sports and swim, giving campers time to recharge and have fun. Programs take place in collegiate classrooms and computer labs, with all equipment provided.

Campers leave with stronger STEM skills, greater confidence, and the excitement of bringing their robotic creations to life.
