Why Playto Labs Runs Online Robotics Summer Camps in Pittsburgh

Online-first lets us give every family the same high bar: expert mentors, up-to-date kits, and a clear curriculum. Offline camps in the Pittsburgh area often vary in instructor quality and kit quality, and fixed schedules do not suit everyone.

With Playto, your child gets 1:1 or small-group attention, a kit at home, and flexible timing. Geography is no limit. That is especially useful in a spread-out metro like Pittsburgh, where driving across the rivers and through the hills can eat up the whole morning.

Families across the Pittsburgh metro area get hands-on robotics, real projects, and a path to competitions, without the commute.

Parents from Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, and across the metro have joined and seen the difference.
