Calling all young builders and creative minds! In this action-packed LEGO® Explore Boot Camp Series, kids will dive into a world of hands-on robotics, building challenges, problem-solving, and imaginative play. Each session will introduce exciting new themes, from constructing moving machines to exploring basic engineering and design concepts. Through teamwork and guided activities, campers will enhance their fine motor skills, creativity, and critical thinking—all while having tons of fun! Whether they’re budding engineers or first-time builders, this camp is the perfect place to learn, explore, and create with LEGO®!

Loops! Jumps! Hair-pin bends! What's the most exciting roller coaster you can imagine? Now come and come build it. In this camp, apprentices join a team of like-minded engineers to dream up, design and construct a twisty downhill run. They'll turn cardboard, paper, straws and other household materials into a roller coaster... for marbles!

Apprentices will learn every step of the design process as they research, prototype, test and assemble their marble run. By the end of the week they'll have built a fascinating, gravity-defying structure, that combines creativity with their new engineering skills. Let's Get Building!

Skills: Research, Construction, Math, Design, Analysis, Team-work

Incoming! In this camp, Apprentices will become engineers as they work in teams to build the strongest catapult and tallest tower that they can. To conquer the challenge, they'll learn about levers and mechanical advantage, building techniques and balance. As well as becoming masterful engineers, they’ll tap into their creative side and make colorful birds and mascots to launch from the catapult. On the last day, teams will face off to try and knock down their opponents' towers before their tower is tumbled, too!

Skills: Building, Testing, Simple Structures, Levers, Mechanical Advantage, Applied Design Process, Team-work

Welcome to RoboCity, a city powered by imagination, engineering, and moving machines!

In this hands-on STEM camp, young makers will design and build their own robots while creating a miniature city where their inventions can live, move, and shine.

Campers will:

• Build two original robots using creative materials and beginner electronics
• Bring their robots to life with code
• Design and construct elements of a growing mini city
• Explore circuits, batteries, LEDs, and more
• Collaborate to combine their creations into one shared Robot Metropolis

This is more than just building projects, campers will learn to think like engineers, problem-solve like designers, and collaborate like real-world architects and robotics teams.

Creativity meets coding. Engineering meets imagination. Welcome to RoboCity!

Start with your brainpower and finish with a bang! In this physical computing camp, apprentices combine coding with a series of other STEM activities to bring their programming skills into action!

It’s all about connecting the digital world and the real world. The goal? Create a motion-sensor machine that can launch an object, play a game or simply say “hello”. To get there, apprentices will learn to code an Arduino microcontroller, and connect it to a device they’ve built using electrical engineering and fabrication skills. Come and see how far your skills can go – literally!

Skills: Coding, Arduino, Electronics, Fabrication, Design & Planning
