Philadelphia Robotics Camps

Unleash your child's potential and love for robotics this summer at Villanova University!

Alongside new friends and tech mentors, kids will be surrounded by Gothic Revival Style architecture and a rich history of one of Pennsylvania's most highly-regarded institutions. 

Such awe-inspiring learning environments are more than just backdrops—they are dynamic spaces that stimulate creativity, spark curiosity, and encourage exploration.

When you add robotics and 25 years of legendary iD Tech traditions to the mix, words don’t do the experience justice. (But, we’ll certainly try!)

From virtual robotics and Scratch to new BattleBots® courses, 2025 robotics camps for ages 7-17 will be open for registration in November.

On Campus at Villanova

In between robotics camp sessions at Villanova, students will:

  • Chow down in Dougherty Dining Hall alongside future tech disruptors
  • Walk the same halls as illustrious alumni like Bradley Cooper, Maria Bello, and others
  • Explore famous campus landmarks like St. Thomas of Villanova Church, Mendel Hall, and the Pavilion
  • Bond with friends during outdoor activities and games in Villanova's ample green spaces
  • Laugh ‘til their sides hurt with spontaneous dance-offs, theme days, and Pie-Your-Instructor Fridays 

"My son could not wait to get to camp every day and work on his robotics project. He came home everyday with tales of won and lost battles, troubleshooting and fixes, and plans to make their build the best for the championship bout. From a parent's perspective, iD Tech is the best run camp we have ever attended. Clear instructions, smooth pick up and drop off process. This camp is worth every penny!"
