Build & Program Robots with LEGO® Education kits!”
“Health Safety Protocols”
The health of our students and staff is important to us. Click here to see our full statement regarding our safety protocols.
“What parents are saying about our STEM Robotics Programs”
“Daedalos Academy’s Robotics program beats anything I have found in the Lower Mainland. Their team-based approach helps kids work together to use their intellect and creativity to overcome obstacles and create robots that can tackle issues that surround us (recycling, aging, etc).”
“My son is looking forward to coming back again for the 4th time. Lego robotics is one class I never have to ask him twice if he wants to attend. He loves it.“
“Build, Code, Learn = Fun!”
At Robotics Camps, 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.
“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”
Robotics is a highly engaging way to learn 21st century skills including critical and computational thinking, problem solving and creativity. Kids learn coding skills but also engineering and design skills 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.
“Typical Schedule:”
Morning Session (9:00-12:00pm): Full Robotics Program for all Grade levels
Lunch break (12:00-1:00pm) – Students bring their own lunch, do outside activities such as badminton, basketball – supervision, sports equipment provided.
Afternoon Session (1:00pm-3:00pm): Full Robotics Program for all Grade levels, with more active teamwork events such as Competition Games and Challenge Missions.
“Beginner Robotics with LEGO® Education WeDo 1.0”
Typically for Grades 1-2 students, but based on assessed level of competency with LEGO building, coding and teamwork skills. Kids use LEGO WeDo kits to build and operate a variety of mechanical constructions using small servo motors and sensors. This is also a great introduction to programming using LabView and Scratch to bring their projects to life.
“Young Engineers with LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0”
Typically for Grades 2-4 students, but based on assessed level of competency with LEGO building, coding and teamwork skills. Kids use LEGO WeDo 2.0 kits with Bluetooth connectivity to iPads/Chromebooks to build and operate a variety of mechanical constructions with programmable motors and sensors. Students work on programming skills such as sequencing, looping and simple if statements through Labview and Scratch.
“Robotics Programming & Competitions with LEGO® Education Mindstorms + SPIKE Prime”
Typically for Grades 4-8 students, but based on assessed level of competency with LEGO building, coding and teamwork skills. Kids use LEGO Mindstorms Education kits to build and operate a variety of complex robotic constructions. They are also introduced to the wonderful world of STEM through FIRST LEGO League materials. By the end of the week, often interested students end up forming or joining existing robotics competition teams for events such as FIRST LEGO League and BCIT Gearbots Code Challenge.
