Radical Robots
Kids learn to design, build and program robots in this radical camp! Kids will learn and level up their JavaScript coding skills while programming Sphero Bolts and RVRs. Advanced robotics teams build and hack Parallax bots while learning Python coding and defending their base.
Kids design robot courses and teach their bots to perform in zany challenges like follow a maze, and build contraptions to race and even battle! It’s a crazy fun time!
- Design engineering
- Robotics
- Construction
- Critical Thinking
- JavaScript
- MakeCode
Rock and roll with the coolest robots around. Spheros Bolts! RVRs! Parallax CyberBots!
Tech Mods
Tech Mods are blocks of hours you can purchase that offer flexibility for kids busy schedules.
The more Tech Mods purchased the cheaper per hour cost. Kids can use Tech Mods any time during KidsTech times. They never expire. This is way cool for frequent flyer tech kids!
Instructors
All KidsTech Instructors are qualified technology proficient GenTechs, Computer Science college majors, Information Technology mentors, engineers or Arizona certified technology teachers.

critical thinking, problem solving and integrate extraordinary interactive methodologies
Camp Overview
Kids will work together to code their robots using JavaScript or block-based coding. Kids will program their robots through mazes, program them to communicate with other robots, and add other electronics to upgrade their robots! Cause and effect along with critical thinking prevail when kids design robot courses and teach their robots to perform in zany challenges like following a maze and building contraptions to race and even battle.
With a growing need for those working in the STEM fields, it is important that the next generation learns how they can make a difference in their world. That is why we offer classes for different levels that way kids of all age groups can enjoy. Radical Robots give kids the opportunity to take a deep dive into the world of robotics. Throughout the week children will be developing their skills in robotics, programming and also working on a project to present to their parents at the end of the week. To conclude each week of camp there will be presentations for kids to demonstrate all the crazy cool stuff they learned during the week!
