Past Camps

Build an Underwater Robot

Build an underwater robot that you will test in a pool on the last day of camp.

Programmable Robotics Overnight Camp

Create a custom robot using Computer Aided Design and 3D printing, then control it with Scratch or Python programming languages.

Geospatial Science Summer Camp

Geospatial Science is an interdisciplinary field which encompasses a wide range of areas including remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), geography and cartography. Explore the exciting field of geospatial science and gain hands-on experience using various geospatial technologies.

Holiday Programmable Robotics Camp

Receive a programmable “mBot Neo” robot to wrap and put under the tree. Children will then bring the robot to the camp to assemble and program it using an easy-to-learn computer language.

STEM Quest: Engineering Foundations Overnight Camp

Explore engineering with hands-on activities to strengthen skills in math, physics and chemistry.

Neural Models & Machine Learning

Receive a hands-on introduction to neuroscience and neural engineering.
