About this camp

Kids STEM Studio Summer Camp offers an engaging and educational experience for children entering grades 1 to 7 (ages 6-12), focusing on hands-on technology and engineering activities. Each week features new projects and themes, allowing campers to explore various STEM concepts. Activities include coding, game design, AI, robotics, and engineering challenges where students build machines and models. Campers learn core coding concepts such as sequencing, loops, conditionals, and functions through platforms like Microsoft MakeCode, Roblox Studio (using Lua for grades 4+), and Minecraft (using Python). They also engage in designing and building mobile apps with MIT App Inventor, incorporating machine learning features. The engineering portion involves designing, building, testing, and improving their own inventions, which they can take home. The camp aims to inspire curiosity, build confidence, develop critical-thinking skills, and foster a lifelong passion for STEM.
