PUT YOUR IDEAS TO THE TEST 

Future Stars BattleBots Camp is one of our most popular robotics programs, giving campers the opportunity to design, build, and compete in robotics engineering challenges inspired by the popular TV show. This camp is ideal for campers who enjoy hands-on learning, problem solving, and friendly competition.

Each day, campers tackle theme-based engineering challenges as they build and program their own robots. Creations are put to the test in the “ring,” where bots face off against one another. After each match, campers redesign and improve their robots, learning through experimentation and iteration. Throughout the week, campers explore science and technology concepts using LEGO Mindstorms kits and other robotics equipment.

Programs take place in collegiate classrooms and computer labs with all necessary equipment provided. Recreational games and water park activities provide a balanced day of learning and fun.
