Summer 2025
Robotic and AI Explorer
Week 1: June 23 - 27
Week 2: June 30 – July 3
For students entering Grades 4, 5, 6
This year, we've updated our successful in-house robotics program to include an introduction to AI. Students will build and program robots on different platforms, such as LEGO, to tackle simulated real-world challenges. They'll also explore basic AI concepts relevant to robotics, such as how machines learn and make decisions. The program is designed to spark creativity in young students while introducing them to the fundamentals of computing and AI, and showing how these technologies impact our daily lives. Students will work together, make friends, and create their own robots from day one. No prior programming experience is required. The program includes both indoor and outdoor activities, and lunch is included in the registration fee.
Physical Computing Fun with Raspberry Pi
Week 1: June 23 - 27
Week 2: June 30 – July 3
For students entering Grades 6, 7, 8
Join us for a summer camp full of fun with Raspberry Pi! Explore the world of computer science through hands-on projects, where you'll collaborate with others, make new friends, and dive into electronics, sensors, and programmable devices. Learn to build hardware that senses and controls the world around you, bringing your ideas to life with Raspberry Pi. Prior programming experience is recommended. Students who have completed the first week's class will have the opportunities to work on more advanced topics. The program includes both indoor and outdoor activities, and lunch is included in the registration fee. Plus, each camper will receive a complete Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit (valued at $150), which they get to keep after the camp!
