🛠 The Experience: Code It. Build It. Make It Move.
Join our premier robotics intensive where students transform from curious makers into future engineers. Every week features a unique theme, ensuring that students who return for multiple weeks always have a fresh challenge waiting for them.
Engineering & Design: Hands-on building using our signature smart gears and specialized robotics hardware.
Advanced Coding: Master logic through block-based coding and compare results with our cutting-edge A.I. Lab.
Smart Tech: Experience the latest smart gadgets and discover how A.I. is shaping the future of robotics.
🚀 Robo-Builders: After-Burner Lab (90-Minute Extension)
More time to create! This relaxed extension is for the student who isn’t finished dreaming. Whether they want to add artistic flair to their morning project, start a brand-new "passion build," or simply tinker with friends, the After-Burner Lab is the ultimate "Inspiration Zone."
It’s a low-pressure, high-creativity space where students can relax, explore new concepts, and build exactly what they want.

🤖 Variety Robotics: Themed Programs and Coding
We offer a variety of themed programs led by experienced instructors. During the Summer Camp, students can dive into some of the most popular robotics-themed activities. A well-organized class offers a variety of programs with hands-on robotics building and coding. The coding activities help students program their own robots to move and follow commands to show expressions. With this program, students can present their ideas creatively. STEAM-focused robot activities help students learn and engage through a fun and interactive design lab program.

✨ Note on Our Flexible Approach
Please note: Our daily itinerary is a guide, not a fixed rule. We adapt our schedule based on the individual needs and progress of our students. If a group is deeply inspired by a specific build, we may extend our "tinker time." If the energy is high, we might jump into a robot competition early! At Robot-Builders Engineering and Design Lab, we prioritize the student's learning experience and engagement over a strict clock.

✨ June 29 - July 2 (Week 2) : Battle-bot Tanks
AM Session(9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Engineer Design
In the morning, students will dive deep into the world of diverse Battle Tanks.
Explore & Learn: We'll study various real-world tanks, focusing on their unique characteristic and tactical applications.
Build: Students will apply what they've learned to build their own Tank-bots.
Strategy: Because each tank has different traits (speed vs. power vs. stability), students will need to think critically about which design works best for the "battlefield".
PM Session(1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Intelligence & Coding
The afternoon is where the machines truly come to life!
Electric Signals: Students will transition from building to programming.
Logic & Control: They will learn how to send electronic signal via computer coding to control their tank's movements,
allowing them to navigate and compete with precision.
Full Day: You are welcome to register for both sessions.
| Note : The sessions are designed to be consecutive; while the morning is all about building, the afternoon provides the logic and movement through code.
Taking both offers the most complete experience for the students!
✨ July 6 - 16 (Week 3) : Amusement Park Tycoon
AM Session(9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Engineer & Design
In the morning, students step into the role of a "Tycoon ". They will design their very own amusement park from the ground up. This includes:
Building motorized robot versions of classic park rides.
Planning the layout and choosing which machines are essential for a successful park.
Problem-solving how to make structures sturdy and fun.
PM Session(1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Coding & Automation
In the afternoon, we focus on the "intelligence" behind the rides. Students will learn:
How to use computer coding to control their builds.
The basics of electrical signals and how they translate into movement.
How to automate their park so the machines react and move just like a real-world theme park.
Full Day: You are welcome to register for both sessions.
| Note : The sessions are designed to be consecutive; while the morning is all about building, the afternoon provides the logic and movement through code.
Taking both offers the most complete experience for the students!
✨ July 13 - 17 (Week 4) : Cyber Security and Spy bot
AM Session(9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Focuses on the "hardware" phase. Students will build specialized Spy Bots equipped for various missions,
learning the mechanicals of how these robots navigate and collect information.
PM Session(1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Focuses on the "tactical" phase. Students will continue building and modifying their robots to handle Cyber Security challenges,
learning how to protect data and use their bots to solve complex, mission-based puzzles.
Full Day: You are welcome to register for both sessions.
| Note : The sessions are designed to be consecutive; while the morning is all about building, the afternoon provides the logic and movement through code.
Taking both offers the most complete experience for the students!
✨ July 20 - 24 (Week 5) : Eco-Bot Smart City
AM Session(9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Focuses on engineering and design. Students will plan their smart city and build the specialized robots required to runt it.
PM Session(1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Focuses on the "brains" of the operation. Students will use A.I. coding to bring their creations to life and make city functional.
Full Day: You are welcome to register for both sessions.
| Note : The sessions are designed to be consecutive; while the morning is all about building, the afternoon provides the logic and movement through code.
Taking both offers the most complete experience for the students!
