In this Robotics Summer Camp in New York, we teach kids how to:

Build robotics projects and interactive systems

Code games, apps, and websites

Why do tri-state families pick an online camp instead of in-person?

Parents in the New York area want strong STEM and flexible scheduling. With online camp there's no commute, expert mentors, and one consistent curriculum. Many also like that kids can keep learning after summer in the same program.

Is this camp suitable for middle-schoolers in the tri-state area?

Yes. The camp is for ages 8 to 16; middle-schoolers (about 11 to 14) are a great fit. After the free trial we assign age-appropriate projects. Many kids in this range in NYC and the tri-state area have completed the program.

Do we need to buy any extra tools or equipment?

No. The kit has the parts and components needed to build and experiment. You only need a computer or tablet with a camera and internet for the live classes.

Can my child continue learning after the Robotics Summer Camp?

Yes. Our Robotics Online Classes for Kids are designed exactly for this purpose. They are deep, well-researched robotics programs that runs year-round and are age-appropriate. Students who do long-term programs consistently outperform those who only do summer programs. Our regular robotics course students win many awards in competitions, from school level to global; one of our students reached the global finals in Geneva in the UN competition. We recommend the year-round program because it builds on what kids learn in camp, keeps skills sharp, and lets them progress to more advanced projects and competitions.
