Welcome to our VEX IQ Robotics Camps! Dive into the fascinating world of robotics and join us on an exciting journey of exploration, creativity, and competition. No matter your experience level, we have the perfect camp tailored to nurture your budding engineering and programming skills.


Beginners Robotics Camp: First Steps into Robotics

Our Beginners Robotics Camp serves as a fantastic entry point for young minds eager to explore the realm of robotics. Throughout this camp, participants will:

  1. Build a Speed Robot: This simple yet intriguing starter project introduces the core concepts of robot construction.
  2. Construct a Drive Train: Expanding upon the foundational skills acquired, kids will then create a drivable robot.
  3. Arena Challenges: Upon completion of their initial robots, participants get the chance to drive their creations in our thrilling arena, facing off against fellow campers. It’s a playful and educational clash of beginner titans!

Intermediate Robotics Camp: Elevate Your Skills

For those who have mastered the basics or have some prior robotics experience, our Intermediate Robotics Camp is your next destination. Here’s what participants will engage with:

  1. Refine the Drive Train: We begin by revisiting the drive train, ensuring that our intermediate robot enthusiasts are well-grounded in core concepts.
  2. Construct Advanced Robots:
    • Clawbot: An advanced robot with gripping capabilities.
    • Ike: Another level up in complexity, introducing more intricate design aspects.

Both Clawbot and Ike require an intensive yet fulfilling 3 days of building. Participants will not only learn about robot construction but also delve deeper into strategy, teamwork, and problem-solving.


Advanced Robotics Camp: The Pinnacle of Robotics Training

The Advanced Robotics Camp is tailored for those who are ready to take on significant challenges, work on specific projects, and delve deep into the coding realm. This 4-day event involves:

  1. Project-Based Learning: Each participant or team will be given a defined project that pushes the boundaries of what they’ve learned previously.
  2. Coding Challenges: It’s not just about building. Our advanced campers will program their robots to accomplish a series of tasks, relying on their coding skills to make their robots perform optimally.
  3. In-depth Analysis: Beyond building and coding, students will also be encouraged to understand the ‘why’ behind each design choice and code snippet, ensuring a holistic learning experience.
