Program Highlights
Who doesn’t like Legos? This will be a fun introduction to robotics and programming. Our Lego Spike Robots are especially designed for young children. In Junior Robotics Camp, campers will build, program and design robots using the Lego Spike robotics system. Each day we will build a new robot design or add features to the robot from the previous day and program the robot to complete various tasks. Campers will learn a variety of building and coding techniques. We will work together and have a chance to demonstrate our robots and to introduce the next challenge.

Please note: This program does not include swimming.
