STEM Camp
Summer STEM Camp · Grades 4–6

Build it, code it, launch it.

A camp packed with designing, 3D-printing, coding real robot cars, and engineering stuff that actually works. Here's what you'll make — and the two apps you can keep playing with at home.

What you'll build

Every hands-on project from camp — design, print, code, race, break, and connect. Tap any one to see how it works.

🌉

Bridge Break-Test

Design a bridge in real CAD, 3D-print it, then crush it — strongest for the least plastic wins.

Engineering 📦

Custom micro:bit Case

Design and 3D-print a snap-on case that protects your micro:bit — and shows it off.

3D Printing ☀️

Solar-Powered Cars

Build a little car that turns sunlight into go, then line up and race it.

Energy 🤖

Robot Cars: Robotsville

Drive a real robot car by remote — then code it to drive itself through Robotsville.

Coding 🗼

Tower Build

Build the tallest tower you can that stands on its own and holds the weight on top.

Structures 💥

Smash the Bridges

Hang weights on your printed bridges and pull until they snap — strongest-for-its-weight wins.

Testing 🌀

Dissolving Fidget Spinners

Print a spinner in one piece, then dissolve away a special plastic to set it spinning.

3D Printing 📡

Robots & Antennas

Keep driving the robot cars — and learn how the remote talks to the car over invisible radio.

Radio 🔊

Bluetooth Speaker

Build a real speaker, pair a phone, and play your own song — named after a Viking king.

Electronics 🧱

Sugar-Cube Arches

Build an arch bridge out of sugar cubes that holds itself up with no glue at all.

Structures
Robotsville town sign Depot House Garage Lawn Dump

Welcome to Robotsville — the little town where your robot car learns to deliver packages, park the garage, follow the roads, and mow the lawn.
