Battle Drones features an exciting combination of aerial acrobatics with an engineering design challenge that will teach students STEM concepts, teamwork, and how to skillfully fly a drone. In Battle Drones, teams of students will build robotic launchers designed to fling projectiles at their opponents’ drones. Students will be guided by experienced camp instructors in how to construct their launchers to maximize projectile speed and accuracy. The camp will culminate in an epic battle where students will need to pilot their drones to safety by dodging opponent projectiles while using their own launchers to take down opponent drones. The best drone pilots and launchers will emerge victorious!

Step into the arena with Build & Battle Robotics (LEGO® Edition), where creativity meets competition! Working in small teams, students will use LEGO® robotics kits to design and build their own battling machines—whether it’s a powerful pusher, a clever wedge, or a spinning striker. Along the way, they’ll learn the engineering behind gearing, traction, and armor as they tweak and improve their designs. The camp culminates in fast-paced, ring-style matches that bring excitement and strategy to life. Packed with action and hands-on learning, this camp is the perfect way for kids to dive into robotics while having a blast in friendly, high-energy competitions!

Students will learn how to fly like the pros in the Drone Racing League by training on a flight simulator. Once they learn the basics of flying, they’ll assemble their very own drone which they can optionally purchase during the camp. After learning drone safety and maintenance, students will take their drone to the skies and compete in numerous races and challenges. Led by experienced instructors, students will leave camp with the skills and knowledge to pilot their drones and keep them running. The drones used in camps have cameras, and are perfect for entry level pilots. Students can choose to bring a drone home for an additional fee.

Get ready for a week of building, coding, and competing! This camp combines the creativity of the LEGO building system with the excitement of robotics. Students will team up in groups of two to three to design and build their own LEGO robots, bring them to life with block-based programming, and take on daily challenges that inspire teamwork and problem solving. Students will build learning models to understand key robotics concepts, then customize and modify their design to take on new challenges. From fun mini-missions to final competitions, including target-hitting games and an action-packed robot sumo battle, every day is packed with hands-on learning and excitement. Perfect for kids who love to build, code, and compete!

Start your engines and get ready to race! In this high-energy camp, students will use LEGO® Robotics to design, build, and program cars and dragsters powered by motors and sensors. Working in small teams, they’ll explore different car models, learn how programming brings machines to life, and tackle fun challenges along the way. On the final day, campers put their creations to the test in an epic racing tournament! Perfect for kids who love speed, teamwork, and hands-on building.

If you like playing video games, you’ll love designing them! Trained instructors will teach students how to program their own video games using an engaging program called Kodu. They will create their own world, populate it with characters, and then play the games they create during class. Students will learn important programming skills while having tons of fun, with no prior experience needed!

In RC Wars, teams of students will build their own Remote Control vehicles to race and battle against other teams. Students will need to design their vehicles to not only be faster and stronger than other teams’ creations, but also better than purchased RC Cars and Drones! RC Wars will feature land and air races, obstacle courses and more as students learn mechanical and electrical building skills in an energetic and exciting environment. Students can choose to bring a drone home for an additional fee.

Turn your love of gaming into an on-screen (and on-mic) talent! In YouTube Creator & Shoutcasting, students will step into the world of esports media by planning highlight reels, recording their own voice-overs, and practicing shoutcasting—the art of delivering hype-filled, crystal-clear game commentary. Along the way, they’ll learn pacing, energy, and clarity while also covering essential “safe streaming” practices to keep their online presence positive and protected. The camp wraps up with a polished final project blending gameplay clips, graphics, and live commentary—giving students the tools and confidence to create content like their favorite streamers and esports casters.
