About this camp

Tech Academy STEM Summer Camps offer hands-on technology projects for kids in grades K-9th, focusing on coding, robotics, 3D printing, game design, and digital arts. Students engage in project-based learning, building real games, robots, movies, and 3D models. The curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity in a fun and encouraging environment. Campers gain valuable technical skills through activities like programming robots with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and VEX, designing 3D models with Tinkercad or Blender, and creating video games using platforms like Scratch, Python, Java, and Roblox. The camps aim to provide an immersive experience where students can explore various STEM fields and develop future-ready skills.
