About This Camp

Step into the dynamic realm of robotics and urban development. Through hands-on activities, campers will master the art of designing and programming robots with the power to transform our cities into sustainable havens.

Our curriculum encompasses the fundamentals of coding, the art of robot assembly, and the core principles of sustainable living. Campers will collaborate in teams to tackle genuine urban challenges, harnessing the potential of their robotic creations as they explore the boundless possibilities of technology in forging a greener tomorrow.

This camp not only cultivates technical prowess but also nurtures a profound sense of environmental stewardship and the spirit of teamwork in our young participants.
