What is a typical camp day like?

A typical camp session starts with the instructor introducing the day's project and teaching new concepts. Students then work hands-on building robots, writing code, or creating designs depending on the topic. At the end, campers share what they built. Many projects go home with the student.

What should my child bring to camp?

Bring a labeled water bottle, a snack (for half-day camps), or a packed lunch (for full-day camps). For coding or digital camps, send a USB drive with at least 2 GB so your child can save their work and continue at home. All project materials, equipment, and technology are provided by Tech Academy. Your child does not need to bring a laptop or any supplies.

Can I mix and match different camp weeks?

New sessions start every week from June through August, so you can build your own summer schedule. Try robotics one week and coding the next, or combine a morning camp and an afternoon camp in the same week for a full day of STEM learning.

Does my child get to keep what they build?

For many camps, students take home the projects they create, whether it is a coded game, a 3D-printed object, or a creative design. For camps using shared equipment like robots, students keep any digital work they create.
