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.

Game Development

Learn software development skills and computer programming through video games. Gain knowledge about computer graphics and Object Oriented Programming in the Unity game environment.

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.
