TechnoCamp 2026 will open registration on April 1st 2026. We hope to see you and your friends this summer!!
SPIKE
🤖Welcome to SPIKE Robotics—an immersive, hands-on engineering and coding experience designed especially for future innovators. Using LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime, students explore the exciting world of robotics as they build, program, and bring their creations to life through playful, engaging challenges. By combining mechanical engineering with computer programming, this camp helps learners bridge the gap between design and technology. With easy-to-use hardware, and an intuitive drag-and-drop coding language based on Scratch, students of all experience levels can jump in and start creating right away. From beginner-friendly builds to open-ended design challenges, learners are encouraged to think critically, solve complex problems, and explore limitless creative possibilities.
💁♀️Through hands-on projects and collaborative problem-solving, students develop essential STEAM skills as they design, build, and program robots that respond to sensors and complete exciting challenges. Along the way, learners experiment, test, and refine their ideas—growing both individually and as members of a collaborative team.
Skills Learned: Engineering design process, designing and building structurally sound robots, SPIKE visual programming concepts, gearing ratios and engineering principles, controlling robot responses through sensors and programming, coding to optimize performance, decision-making structures, and teamwork and problem-solving strategies

EX: Week 1: STEAM AM Camp and RoboForge PM Camp
Week 2: Drone AM Camp and Spike PM Camp
We offer six exciting half-day camps focused on robotics, technology, creativity, and hands-on exploration. Each camp is designed to help students build problem-solving skills, confidence, and teamwork while having fun learning new technologies. Families can choose one session or combine this camp with another camp to create a full-day experience for the week. Students who sign up for both an AM and a PM class may bring a sack lunch and eat with another camp. Please inform the staff upon morning check-in if your camper will be bringing their lunch.
