Coding & Robotics Camps

We turn consumers of technology into creators of technology. This camp is an engineering playground where code comes to life in the physical world.

The 7 Ws + How

Who

Innovators: Ages 10–18.
Experience: Tracks for absolute beginners (Block/Scratch) to advanced coders (Python/C++).

What

Core: Computer Science fundamentals + Mechanical Engineering.
Projects: Battle bots, line followers, automated gardens, game dev.

The Engineering Design Loop

How we approach every project:

graph LR
    A[Ask] --> B[Imagine]
    B --> C[Plan]
    C --> D[Create]
    D --> E[Test]
    E --> F{Improve?}
    F -- Yes --> A
    F -- No --> G[Share]

Curriculum Tracks

1. Robotics Engineering (Hardware Focus)

Mechanics: Gears, torque, friction, and structural stability.
Sensors: Using ultrasonic, color, gyro, and touch sensors to navigate environments.
Actuators: Controlling motors for precision movement.
The Challenge: “Sumo Bot” competition—build a robust robot to push opponents out of the ring.

2. Creative Coding (Software Focus)

Language: Python (text-based) or Scratch (block-based).
Game Dev: Creating playable arcade games using PyGame or Unity.
Logic: Loops, If-Else conditionals, Variables, Functions.
The Challenge: “Hackathon”—teams have 24 hours to build a working app or game.

3. Maker Lab (Integration)

IoT (Internet of Things): Connecting physical devices to the web using Raspberry Pi.
3D Printing: Designing custom parts in CAD (Tinkercad/Fusion 360) and printing them.
Circuitry: Basics of electricity, soldering LEDs, resistors, and breadboarding.

Daily Schedule: Maker Life

Stand-up Meeting (09:00 - 09:15) Review goals for the day. “What did I build yesterday? What is blocking me?”
Tech Deep Dive (09:15 - 10:30) Instructional workshop (e.g., “How to use a PID controller for line following”).
Build Sprint (10:30 - 12:30) Hands-on construction and coding. Instructors circulate to help debug.
Testing & Iteration (13:30 - 15:30) Running robots in the arena. Analyzing failures. Modifying code.
Show & Tell (16:00 - 17:00) Presenting the day’s progress to the group. constructive feedback.

Equipment

Hardware

LEGO Spike Prime, Arduino Uno kits, Raspberry Pi 4, soldering stations.

Fabrication

Prusa i3 MK3S+ 3D Printers, Laser Cutters.

“I learned that failing isn’t bad. It just means my code has a bug. Finding the bug is the fun part.” — Jonas, Age 13
