As the official education partner of BattleBots®, iD Tech offers an unparalleled experience where campers build and battle their own robots in an authentic tournament setting.
In iD Tech BattleBots® Camp, kids and teens transform into robotics engineers, designing, building, and programming their own custom BattleBots® robots. Campers utilize VEX Robotics platforms and C++ programming to bring their creations to life. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, covering mechanical engineering principles, robot construction, wiring circuit boards, and programming controls. Students also delve into 3D printing to create custom armor and attachments for their bots. The week culminates in exciting BattleBots®-style tournaments and challenges, where participants test their designs against peers in obstacle courses, races, and capture the flag. Beyond technical skills, the camp fosters teamwork, problem-solving, and iterative design, preparing students for future STEM endeavors.
A typical day balances hands-on learning in a lab with outdoor and recreational activities on a university campus.
This camp is best for kids and teens who are passionate about robotics, engineering, and competitive challenges, and who enjoy hands-on building and programming.
