It’s time for bright ideas! In this camp, Apprentices will work with key STEAM skills to create their own RGB lamp. Using a combination of coding, 3D modeling, 3D printing, and circuit-building, they’ll plan, design, and build a creation straight out of their imagination. During this camp, they’ll take their builds all the way from a pen-and-paper concept to a fully functional light feature, which they can proudly bring home at the end of the week. Let’s get building!

Skills: Coding, 3D Design & Printing, Electrical Circuits, Microcontrollers, Applied Design Process

Art history meets game strategy in this camp. Steamoji Junior Apprentices (ages 5-7) will invent and build their own art-inspired mini-games, merging artistic skills with critical thinking to combine the gallery with the game world.

Every day is a creative bonanza where their imaginations set the scene and game design brings the structure, resulting in a collection of fun games that they’ve plotted and crafted themselves.

From pens and markers to sculpting and LED lights, Apprentices will use classic and contemporary design principles as a springboard for their own unique artwork. It’s a place where math and art meet up to make magic. So – who’s ready to play?!

Skills: Drawing, Painting, Sculpting, Conceptualizing, Critical Thinking, Algorithm Design, Math

Push, pull, lift or flip your opponent's robot out of the arena to claim victory and become the Steamoji Robo Battle Master! In this week-long camp, you’ll combine a whole suite of STEAM skills to design, prototype, code and build your very own battle robot that will face off against your fellow campers at the end of the week.

You will learn:

• Coding - Code a Micro:bit microcontroller as the “brain” of your battle bot
• Engineering - Planning, prototyping, evaluating and improving
• 3D Printing - Use 3D design and printing to make additional components for your robot

Incoming! In this camp, Apprentices will become engineers as they work in teams to build the strongest catapult and tallest tower that they can. To conquer the challenge, they'll learn about levers and mechanical advantage, building techniques and balance. As well as becoming masterful engineers, they’ll tap into their creative side and make colorful birds and mascots to launch from the catapult. On the last day, teams will face off to try and knock down their opponents' towers before their tower is tumbled, too!

Skills: Building, Testing, Simple Structures, Levers, Mechanical Advantage, Applied Design Process, Team-work

Start with an idea, awaken it on the screen, and then bring it to life right in front of you. Digital storytelling meets fabrication in this camp, which taps into kids’ creativity across the entire STEAM spectrum.

From sports to entertainment, apprentices will start each day with a new theme and follow their imaginations through a series of activities. They’ll use digital art skills and coding to create characters and stories in Scratch Jr., a visual programming language that gives kids their first taste of coding. From there, they’ll bring these characters into the real-world using principles of fabrication.

Building mini games to designing graphics – it’s all about sparking ideas and using STEAM principles to tell stories. Come and find the exciting worlds that are waiting to be discovered in your imagination!

Skills: Storytelling, Coding, Digital Arts, Fabrication

AI is everywhere — but what actually is it, and how can your child use it now?

In this camp, young makers pull back the curtain on artificial intelligence. They'll learn how AI thinks, where it shows up in everyday life, and how to put it to work in their own projects. Then comes the fun part: teaching a computer to see. Using a webcam and a few lines of code, campers will build their very own AI-powered creation — something that recognizes, reacts, and responds to the real world.

By the end, your camper won't just know about AI. They'll have built with it.

No experience needed. Just curiosity.

Loops! Jumps! Hair-pin bends! What's the most exciting roller coaster you can imagine? Now come and come build it. In this camp, apprentices join a team of like-minded engineers to dream up, design and construct a twisty downhill run. They'll turn cardboard, paper, straws and other household materials into a roller coaster... for marbles!

Apprentices will learn every step of the design process as they research, prototype, test and assemble their marble run. By the end of the week they'll have built a fascinating, gravity-defying structure, that combines creativity with their new engineering skills. Let's Get Building!

Skills: Research, Construction, Math, Design, Analysis, Team-work

The Junior VEX Robotics Camp introduces students to the foundations of robotics through hands-on building and simple programming. Campers will explore how robots move, operate, and complete basic tasks while developing confidence in STEM skills. This camp is 4 days

Junior campers will:
• Learn fundamental engineering and design principles
• Build a beginner-friendly VEX robot with guided support
• Use block-based coding to program movement and simple functions
• Practice teamwork, problem-solving, and creative thinking
• Participate in age-appropriate challenges designed for success

The Senior VEX Robotics Camp offers a deeper, more advanced robotics experience for older or more experienced students. Campers will take on complex builds, advanced coding concepts, and competitive-style challenges. This camp is 4 days.

Senior campers will:
• Design and build more sophisticated VEX robot systems
• Use block-based or text-based coding (depending on skill level)
• Learn engineering strategies for speed, precision, and efficiency
• Tackle real-world style challenges and multi-step scenarios
• Compete in structured matches modeled after competitive robotics

This camp is designed for students ready to elevate their skills and think like engineers, innovators, and future competitors.
