About This Activity
Club SciKidz’s Advanced Robotics with LEGO Spike is a premier STEM.org accredited program that utilizes the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set. This camp moves beyond basic building blocks to explore sophisticated sensors, high-torque motors, and the "Smart Hub" logic that powers modern automated systems. Core Learning Objectives: Space Mission Engineering: Using the Spike Space Challenge Set, campers work in pairs to solve three pivotal NASA challenges: pioneering energy creation in space, ensuring human survival in harsh environments, and harnessing robotic capabilities for planetary exploration. Dual-Language Logic: Students begin with Scratch-based drag-and-drop coding and have the option to advance into Python® text-based programming, the industry standard for AI and data science. Complex Mechanical Systems: Campers master the use of Technic™ elements and gears to build high-efficiency driving vehicles and robotic arms capable of precision tasks like detecting and moving "Martian" objects. Data-Driven Robotics: Using built-in sensors, students learn how to program their robots to interpret real-world data, such as weather forecasts, cloud data, and distance measurements, to make autonomous decisions. Quick Facts for Busy Families The "Mars Mission" Finale: The week culminates in a series of high-stakes missions where campers must test and refine their programs to complete specific tasks in our simulated space environment. STEM.org Accredited: Our curriculum is recognized for excellence, ensuring that your child’s summer experience is grounded in rigorous academic and professional standards. Collaborative Teamwork: By working in pairs, campers develop the "soft skills" of technical communication and peer-to-peer problem solving used in real engineering firms. Flexible Support: Most locations run Monday–Friday (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM), with Pre-Camp (8:00 AM) and Post-Camp (until 5:30 PM) options available to fit your workday. Ready to Launch?
