Smart Builders-
Cool Coders

featuring Remote-Control LEGO®-based projects!
Ages 5-7 | Afternoon camp (12:30-3:30pm)


LEGO® fans will build remote-control LEGO projects, as well as learn coding with Botley - one of the coolest new robots around.


...

Exciting Remote-Control Builds

Campers build, play with and engineer these projects:

  • Snowmobile with treads
  • Hopping rabbit with cams
  • Mars Rover, with 6 wheels, moves in all directions
  • Combine harvester that ”cuts” crops
  • Ranger jeep that treks up and down ramps

...

Great Intro to Coding!

Campers team-up to program Botley to get through mazes, push objects, follow lines, and even play soccer and bowling.

Students code movement by pressing buttons on a hand-held device, learning about logic, loops and conditional (if/then) actions.



What Parents Are Saying –

“My son would come home each day beyond excited to share what he learned or made. I was so impressed with the level of building for their age. He loved it!” – Parent of a Burlingame camper
“The teachers were friendly and organized. My son got to know how an energy source can be used to drive a motor. The concept of energy conversion is abstract and remote to a child. When they learned through play and work with physical LEGO blocks, it became clearer and easier for them.” – Parent of a Milpitas camper
“TechKnowHow camp has been a great experience! It is a great place for creative, constructive and fun learning. We liked the instruction sheets, teacher guidance, use of videos and the classroom setting.” – Jineet, Parent of a 1st grader
“I think the camp definitely enhanced my son's creative play with LEGOs and independence. The day seemed well structured and he had a lot of fun.” – Parent of a Campbell camper
