About This Activity
This full-day adventure blends hands-on robotics with imaginative world-building—perfect for young learners who love animals, exploration, and creative problem-solving! Morning: LEGO Robotics – Pet Rescue Robotics Campers start the day as junior engineers using LEGO Spike Essential to design and build robotic helpers for pets in need. They explore motors, sensors, gears, and beginner-friendly coding as they create feeding gadgets, rescue vehicles, walking buddies, and more. Fun pet-themed challenges encourage creativity, teamwork, and early engineering skills. Students are grouped by age for just-right support and success. Afternoon: Minecraft – Amazon Quest In the afternoon, campers journey deep into the Amazon rainforest using Minecraft Education. They build research stations, design safe shelters, create river crossings, protect endangered animals, and complete exciting survival missions. Learners also use simple block-based coding to automate builds and bring their rainforest creations to life. Younger campers follow guided builds, while older students take on more open-ended challenges. By the end of camp, students will have engineered clever robotic pet helpers and explored the wonders of the Amazon through interactive Minecraft missions—making this a fun and enriching blend of STEM, creativity, and adventure! Pack a thermos and lunch for your learner to enjoy a lunch break between sessions. Parents will receive daily updates on your child's learning and projects.
