Grades: 3-5

Get ready to build, code, and create! In Bot Builders, campers design and program LEGO robots using LEGO Education SPIKE Prime. Each day brings new missions that challenge campers to think like engineers—testing designs, solving problems, and improving performance. Along the way, they’ll learn teamwork, persistence, and key STEM concepts as they bring their ideas to life. It’s hands-on, high-energy fun where coding meets creativity!

Weeks: 2 or 5
Grades: 6 - 8

This is the camp for every Middle Schooler looking to code like a pro! Campers will learn one of the most popular programming languages while creating exciting projects. Campers will explore key coding concepts like variables, loops, functions, and conditionals. Each day offers time to experiment, debug, and improve, helping students build confidence as they bring their ideas to life. By the end of the week, campers will have a completed Python project they can share and showcase. Perfect for beginners or budding coders, this camp makes learning Python fun, engaging, and empowering!

Weeks: 2 or 5
Grades: 3 -5

Every student should know Scratch.  Ask MIT! During this camp, students will bring their imagination to life through coding! In this camp, students use Scratch, a visual programming tool from MIT, to design their own interactive games, animations, and stories. Along the way, they’ll learn key coding concepts like loops, conditionals, and variables while developing creativity and problem-solving skills. Each day offers new challenges and time to collaborate, test ideas, and share projects. By the end of the week, campers will showcase an original creation that reflects their interests and imagination. No experience needed—just curiosity and creativity!  This is the perfect introduction for emerging coders.

Weeks: 1, 4, or 7
Grades: 6 - 8

The future is now! In this hands-on camp, students become engineers, urban planners, and tech creators as they design their own futuristic cities. Using 3D modeling tools and coding, campers bring buildings, bridges, and smart city features to life while exploring design thinking, problem-solving, and engineering principles.

Each day blends creative brainstorming, team challenges, and hands-on coding and 3D printing activities, giving students the chance to see their ideas take physical form. By the end of the week, campers will present their 3D-printed city creations, demonstrating innovation, teamwork, and technical skills.

Weeks: 3 or 6
Grades: 6 - 8

Calling all gamers in grades 6 -8! Middle school students will become game designers, programmers, and storytellers as they create their own interactive video games using tools like Unity, Pixel Pad, and more. Campers will learn how to design characters, build levels, and code game mechanics while exploring important concepts like logic, problem-solving, and user experience design. Daily challenges will encourage creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking as students test, debug, and refine their games—just like professional game designers. By the end of the week, campers will showcase their playable games to peers and families, demonstrating their creativity, coding skills, and game design knowledge.

Weeks: 3 or 6
Grades: 3 -5

Calling all gamers! In GameMakers Studio, campers become real game designers! Using tools like Pixel Pad, Blender, and other game design applications, students create their own interactive video games with custom characters, levels, and challenges. As they design, they’ll learn coding logic, storytelling, and debugging—skills every great developer needs. The week ends with a fun showcase where campers play and share their creations. It’s creative, exciting, and the perfect way for young gamers to bring their ideas to life!
