About This Activity
The TPS STEAM Academy is an integrated, cross-curricular exploration into the worlds of robotics, engineering, and 3D printing. Students will rotate through three sessions during the camp day, each embedded with different challenges such as SumoBots, balloon-powered race cars, and rollercoaster design. At the TPS STEAM Academy, young innovators dive into an exciting, hands-on journey through the realms of robotics, engineering, and 3D printing. Each day is packed with dynamic, challenge-based sessions where students rotate through unique activities designed to push creative boundaries and problem-solving skills. From building and battling SumoBots in the robotics lab to designing and racing balloon-powered cars in the engineering classroom, every session promises to be an adventure. Students will code robots, tinker with circuits, and even experiment with CAD apps to create inventive prototypes.
