Build-a-Bot: Next Level

Dates: June 15–19 and July 20–24
Time: 9:00AM – 3:00PM
Location: 2685 Middlefield Rd, Palo Alto, CA

This camp is recommended for students who have completed Build-a-Bot or already have some robotics experience and are ready for a deeper challenge.

Students work on more open-ended and complex projects, spending more time designing their own solutions and improving their builds. Campers are introduced to tools commonly used in robotics labs, including CAD software, 3D printing, and structured robot programming. They learn how to plan projects, test ideas, and iterate like real engineering teams.

Throughout the week, students collaborate in small groups to design, build, and refine their robots while developing creativity, teamwork, and time management skills.

Best for: Returning campers • Intermediate students • Ready for deeper challenges
Focus: Custom builds • CAD & 3D printing • Advanced programming • Team engineering
Outcome: Plan, design, and improve more complex robots using real robotics tools
