Gainesville STEM Summer Camp

*FULL - Waiting List for ALL WEEKS*
The Robotics and Coding STEM Camp offers an incredible opportunity for young engineers to dive into the world of robotics and coding in a dynamic and hands-on learning environment. Campers will have the chance to develop valuable engineering and design skills by working on a project that they can continue to grow with over the years.

The camp features two exciting platforms: the VEX IQ Challenge, an engaging robotics competition, and Scratch, a beginner-friendly programming language that encourages creativity and problem-solving. These platforms will help students strengthen their technical abilities and expand their knowledge in both robotics and coding.

One of the best aspects of the camp is the opportunity for collaboration and friendly competition. Working alongside like-minded peers, campers will tackle challenges together, build innovative solutions, and learn the importance of teamwork. Our experienced counselors, who have years of expertise in robotics and coding, will guide them every step of the way to help them unlock their full potential.

Teamwork at Its Best
For the robotics portion, campers will work in pairs. If your child has a friend they would like to team up with, simply let us know when filling out the registration form, and we’ll ensure they’re paired together.

Beginner Week (Entering grades 3 - 5 next year): Great for elementary students with no experience with VEX IQ or SCRATCH, preferably students who will be entering grades 3 - 5. Beginner students can start in any week but will have the best experience in the beginner week with their peers. Students this week will build the "hero" bot that comes with the new game.

Week 1 - Beginner Week - June 22 - 26

Competition Weeks (Entering grades 4 - 8 next year): For all students, but the projects will get more advanced in the later weeks. New middle school students should start with Week 2 for the best experience but can join other weeks as fits with your schedule.

Week 2 - Competition Week - June 29 - July 3
Week 3 - Competition Week - July 6 - 10
Week 4 - Competition Week - July 13 - 17
