Programming Outdoor Fun with Lego Spike Essential

10 – 14 June; 8:30 am to 1 pm or 5:00 pm
Ages 6 and 7.


This 5-day camp is designed to immerse students in an engaging STEAM-centric environment, offering practical experiences that enhance their skills in the areas of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics. The program emphasizes the development of 21st-century competencies, including social and emotional learning, foundational principles of computational thinking, beginner-level coding, mathematics, and language arts.

Throughout the camp, each day will feature collaborative team-building exercises and designated times for physical activities, fostering both mental and physical well-being. Additionally, participants will be briefed as a team on challenges that are in line with educational standards.

The structured daily challenges aim to progressively equip students with the necessary abilities and understanding to tackle the grand finale project: conceptualizing and coding their very own amusement park ride that promises outdoor excitement. This hands-on project will not only consolidate their learning from the camp but also inspire creativity and practical problem-solving.
