American Robotics Academy inspires young engineers by combining the excitement of LEGO® Technic building and programmable bots with real-world problem-solving and teamwork in a fun, sports-like atmosphere.
American Robotics Academy offers hands-on robotics and engineering programs where campers design, build, and program robots using LEGO® Technic systems and other tools. The curriculum blends mechanical engineering, coding basics, and problem-solving through engaging design challenges and team-building activities. Campers gain experience with gears, motors, wheels, axles, pulleys, and remote control devices, learning how these components work together to create animated mechanical movements. Programs also introduce coding platforms like Micro:bits and Sphero robots, and some locations offer an introduction to AI. Students participate in friendly competitions and collaborative quests, fostering creativity, communication, and resilience. The camps aim to stimulate imagination and encourage exploration and expression in a supportive, small-group environment.
A typical day involves students building, coding, and problem-solving in a structured environment, often culminating in friendly robot battles or competitions.
This camp is best for curious and creative students in grades K-8 who enjoy hands-on building, problem-solving, and working in teams to bring their robotic ideas to life.
