About this camp

In the Open World by DigiPen's Exploring Robotics and Engineering camp, elementary-aged students (6-8) will engage in hands-on activities to understand how engineers use science to solve problems and how to control machines through programming. Campers will design, build, and test their own robots, learning about the importance of iteration in robotics and engineering. Projects may include creating a robot that makes conditional decisions and experimenting with slime polymers. The curriculum emphasizes problem-solving through building and testing, allowing students to explore various types of engineering, such as constructing structures, initiating chemical reactions, and investigating movement and flight. The program aims to foster a passion for STEAM subjects and empower students with skills to continue creating.

What a typical day looks like

A typical day involves morning and afternoon sessions with a mid-morning break for snacks and creative activities, and a lunch break where students can eat their packed lunches or an optional provided lunch, followed by outdoor games if weather permits.
