Robotics camps: what are they?
Robotics camps are hands-on programmes where participants learn to design, build and program robots.
They bring together mechanics, electronics, coding and artificial intelligence.
Participants work on their own or in teams to build something that actually works.
What they are after is invention, logical thinking and technical skill.
Robotics camps: the kinds on offer
Educational robotics
An introduction to building and programming robots.
Competition robotics
Getting ready for contests and technical challenges.
Electronics and Arduino
Building projects with sensors and microcontrollers.
LEGO robotics
Building modular robots to learn by doing.
Robotics and artificial intelligence
Exploring robots that run themselves and the systems behind them.
Robotics engineering
Design, mechanics and building prototypes.
Robotics camps: how they work
Introduction to robotics
Going over the parts, the principles and the technology used.
Design
Planning and building the robot's structure.
Assembly
Fitting the mechanical and electronic parts together.
Coding
Writing the code that makes the robot move.
Testing and improving
Checking that it works and making it work better.
Robotics camps: who are they for?
Beginners
For those who want to come to robotics from the ground up.
Children keen on technology
For building invention and clear thinking.
School pupils and teenagers
For going deeper into the STEM subjects.
People who like building
For those who enjoy making objects and prototypes.
People who like coding
For those drawn to making smart devices do what they want.
Would-be engineers
For those drawn to robotics, automation and technology.
Level of the experience
Robotics: the first steps

Boards, motors, sensors and the parts you build with.
A computer
You need one for programming and setting up the robots.
Programming software
Applications and development environments for driving the robots.
Tools
For putting parts together and altering them.
Something to write with
For diagrams, ideas and technical notes.
Personal kit
What you need for taking part in the camp.
Safety
Safety in a robotics camp covers handling the components and the technical kit properly.
Robotics camps: frequently asked questions
No. There are camps for beginners.
It depends on how demanding the programme is and on the technology used.
Organisers usually supply the materials.
Mobile robots, automated systems or smart prototypes.
Most programmes include coding pitched at the participant's level.
Yes. Plenty of the projects are done together.
Building STEM skills and an engineer's way of thinking.
