Robotics Summer Camps & Online Classes for Kids & Teens

About robotics camps

A robotics camp or class combines fun with the opportunity for kids and teens to build and engineer robots while learning AI, visual coding, and machine learning. Programs typically incorporate competitive challenges where kids and teens task their robots with specific actions.

Students can continue with robotics in classes with after-school programs, now held online! Small groups gather and learn things like how to code a virtual robot online with graphical coding, artificial intelligence, and more—from live instructors.
