With Playto Labs Robotics Summer Camps, you get everything an in-person robotics class offers, and a lot more, with extended learning benefits beyond the classroom.
Summer is a critical time for kids to stay engaged while learning meaningful skills. Our curriculum is designed so that the mode of learning never becomes a limitation: whether online or offline. What matters most is that children stay curious, build real skills, and enjoy the learning process through hands-on projects, expert mentorship, and structured guidance.
In Columbus, most kids spend summer consuming content. The ones who build robots develop real skills, confidence, and a lasting edge.
Curriculum and kits are STEM.org accredited and built by alumni of Harvard, IIT, Amazon, Intel, and Microsoft. Your child gets the right level of challenge and real-world application, not just theory.
Free shipping to Greater Columbus and Central Ohio via FedEx and UPS. Most kits arrive in 3 to 5 business days. Once you receive your kit, the sessions run in Eastern Time, and our teachers are experienced with students across Central Ohio.
Our robotics summer camp is 1:1 live online, so you get a lot of flexibility with class timings. You can pick slots that fit your family’s schedule instead of fixed camp hours.
All sessions are in Eastern Time (EST/EDT), so they align with Central Ohio. Our mentors are used to teaching students in this region and to local school and summer rhythms.
During summer, kids have more free time but often join multiple camps and activities. We offer flexibility to choose timings that don’t clash with other plans. That’s possible because every class is 1:1, so we can adapt to your preferred days and times instead of a fixed group schedule.
Our classes are live, teacher-led, and designed to keep students actively engaged. Not just watching passive video lessons or following step-by-step instructions without knowing why.
Each session is structured to help children understand how technology works, from basic concepts to real applications, so they don’t just follow instructions, but truly grasp why and how things work.
In this Robotics Summer Camp in Columbus, we teach kids how to:
Build robotics projects and interactive systems
Code games, apps, and websites
Learn logical thinking and engineering fundamentals
Work on real-world problem-solving challenges
Gain confidence through project-based learning
Every concept is learned by building, testing, fixing mistakes, and improving - just like real engineers do.
