In our Robotics & Coding Week, campers will explore engineering, problem-solving, and creativity through hands-on robot building and programming. Using VEX GO (ages 6–10) and VEX IQ (ages 11–14), students will design, build, and code motorized robots to complete fun and engaging challenges.
During this week, campers will explore the exciting world of Robotics, Coding, Physics, and Chemistry through hands-on experiments, interactive games, and engaging activities.
In Coding & Math Week, campers will strengthen their logical thinking, problem-solving, and math skills through computer programming. Younger campers will use Scratch, while older campers will learn Python.
Campers dive deeper into robotics and coding through advanced challenges, creative problem-solving, and open-ended engineering projects using VEX GO (ages 6–10) and VEX IQ (ages 11–14).
Ages 6–14
Our campers work on age-appropriate STEM projects individually and in small groups to challenge their thinking and build perseverance.
Early drop-off for busy parents from 8 am to 9 am. Structured quiet activities and free play before the main camp day begins.
We kick off the day with high energy, and an introduction to the day's exciting STEM theme and challenges.
Hands-on project time! This is where the building, coding, and experimenting happens, guided by our expert instructors. Campers focus on one amazing week-long project, building incredible new skills as they transform their creative idea into reality.
Enjoy a nut-free lunch from home and unstructured time to socialize and play with friends.
Campers get back to work on their amazing projects with help from our inspiring instructors and like-minded peers.
Wrap up the day, share successes and project progress, and get excited for tomorrow's adventures.
Extended stay from 3 pm – 5 pm with supervised games, activities, and extra time for projects for parents needing later pick-up.
Our weekly summer program welcomes children ages 6–14. Activities are designed to be age-appropriate, and we differentiate projects and challenges for younger (6–10) and older (11–14) campers.
Our afternoon classes are offered separately and are available for students ages 5–17.
Weekly Camps run from 9am–3pm Monday through Friday. We offer optional extended care hours from 8am–9am and from 3pm–5pm.
Afternoon classes are between 4–8 PM.
No prior experience is required for any week. Each week is designed to accommodate beginners, while offering extensions and advanced challenges for returning students or those with prior experience.
Week 1 (Robotics & Coding Foundations) is a great starting point but not required for any other weeks. Week 4 (Robotics & Coding – Advanced Challenges) welcomes both new and returning students. Weeks 2 and 3 are independent and can be taken in any order. You do not need to attend previous weeks to join any new week.
Week 1: Focuses on foundational robotics and coding skills. Students learn the basics of building motorized robots and writing simple code. Week 2: Focuses on the use of robotics and coding in real life, supplemented with related Physics and Chemistry experiments. Week 4: Focuses on advanced challenges and creative engineering—returning students apply prior skills while new students are fully supported with onboarding and guided activities.
Weeks 1 & 4: Build and program robots using VEX GO & VEX IQ, complete coding challenges, use sensors, and work in teams to solve problems. Week 2: Conduct hands-on experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology, and work on team challenges. Week 3: Learn coding with Scratch (ages 6–10) or Python (ages 11–14), integrate math concepts into projects, and create games, simulations, and problem-solving activities.
Activities are differentiated by age and skill level. Younger campers focus on foundational concepts and guided practice, while older campers tackle more complex challenges, advanced coding, and extended problem-solving activities. Campers are grouped for activities to maximize learning and collaboration.
Campers develop:
Yes! Each week concludes with a showcase or presentation, where campers demonstrate their projects, coding solutions, and experiments. Families are encouraged to attend if possible.
Absolutely! Families can choose weeks that best fit schedules and interests. Each week stands alone, so siblings can attend different weeks without missing prerequisite content.
Please contact us via our website or email. Early registration is encouraged to secure spots, as class sizes are limited.
Absolutely! We're thrilled to offer our Refer-a-Friend Program. Once you enroll, you'll receive a unique sibling/referral code to share. When friends sign up using your code, they'll receive 10% off their purchase and you'll earn $50 in STEMatics account credit for future classes or the next camp season.
Discount codes cannot be combined. However, all code-based discounts are in addition to the multi-week discount, which applies automatically.
Enter your code (no spaces) into the "promo code" box under your cart and click "Apply." If you have trouble, contact [email protected] before checking out.
