2026-2027 PROGRAMS
Programs & Curriculum
Kids have the opportunity to learn problem solving skills hands-on with building & designing robots, and get them moving with code.
Build & Program Robots with LEGO® Education kits!”
In our robotics programs, kids create, build, program and operate robotic animals, machines and vehicles using LEGO® Education Robotics and Computer Programming. We place your child into grade level appropriate activities based on skill, ability, experience and preference.
🤖 Beginner Bots
Kids use LEGO WeDo 1 or LEGO WeDO 2.0 kits with Bluetooth connectivity to build and operate a variety of mechanical constructions with programmable small motors and sensors. They are introduced to simple programming skills such as sequencing, looping Labview and Scratch.
Age Range:
- Grades 1-2
What your child will learn
- Basic computation thinking via block based code
- Experimenting with gears, motors and sensors
- Motor movement and sensor-triggered behaviour
- Teamwork skills including turn-taking, working together to achieve a goal
- Problem solving skills through hands-on daily robot missions and challenges
“I love building with LEGO and I can make my motors and sensors work!”
🛠️ Young Engineers
Typically for Grades 3-7 students, but based on assessed level of competency with LEGO building, coding and teamwork skills. Kids use LEGO Education materials (SPIKE Prime for grades 3-5 and LEGO® Mindstorms Ev3 for grades 6-7) to build and operate a variety of complex robotic constructions. In addition to building and programming motorized robots, they also interact with sensors. They strengthen their programming skills such as sequencing, looping, if-then statements, and variables, with increasingly complex tasks through testing and iteration.
Age Range:
- Grades 3-7
What your child will learn
- Building with motors, gears, and sensors
- Sequencing and logic — the foundation of all coding
- Loops, motor direction, and sensor-triggered behaviour
- First steps at design and computational thinking
- Teamwork through daily robot missions and challenges
“I build my robot and it does what I tell it to!”
💻 Advanced Robotics with Python Coding
For our most advanced students, we teach python coding skills combined with robotics challenges. Students program a physical device with python code, then review Python syntax, variables, functions, and loops to make sure the code works. Students practice debugging skills: reading errors, testing hypotheses and trying out new solutions. Students engage in friendly robotics competitions including obstacle-avoidance challenges.
Learning Objectives
- computational thinking (simple algorithms);
- iteration (evaluate effectiveness of code and improve upon it);
- communication (ability to explain components of program);
- teamwork and collaboration (working in groups of 2 or 3 to accomplish a common goal);
- troubleshooting (identifying and solving minor hardware and software problems).
A DAY AT CAMP
What a Camp Day Looks Like
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 9:00 – 10:30am | Arrival, overview of main lesson, instructions on coding + start building! |
| 10:30-10:45am | Outdoor Break – Play park + Games + snack time |
| 10:45am – 12:00pm | Robotics Program Daily Activities for all Grade levels, working in pairs assisted by Robotics Instructors |
| 12:00 – 1:00pm | Lunch Break (nut-free) – Students bring their own lunch, do outside activities such as badminton, basketball – supervision, sports equipment provided. |
| 1:00pm-3:00pm | Full Robotics Program for all Grade levels, with more active teamwork events such as Competition Games and Challenge Missions. |
| 3:00pm | Pick-up time, class dismissed |
Every Camp Unique
We plan different activities customized to the mix of returning and new students, so that no returning student ever does the same thing over again, but instead is given a harder challenge as they progress in their robotics and programming skills. Each year, our games and challenges have been inspired by popular sci-fi and fantasy sagas such as Lost in Space, Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and more.
Hands-on with 21st Century Skills
Key Learning Outcomes
Robotics is a highly engaging way to learn 21st century skills including:
- critical thinking
- computational thinking
- problem solving
- creativity
- communication
- collaboration and teamwork
Kids are introduced to the basics of programming, engineering and designing by building robots that actually function, move and respond to stimuli. Because they’re paired up in teams, they learn valuable communication and teamwork skills along the way, giving them valuable skills for the future.
