About this camp

Robofun Summer Camp offers an immersive STEAM experience where students in PreK through 8th grade learn coding and game design. Utilizing visual programming languages like Scratch (developed by MIT Media Lab) and Python, campers engage in hands-on projects to build real programming skills. Activities include designing, building, and playing interactive games such as Adventure, Maze, and Platform games, which progressively increase in complexity. Students learn core programming logic, sequencing actions, cause-and-effect, and computational thinking. Beyond coding, the camp fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, iteration, and creativity. The curriculum is designed to transform curiosity into confidence, allowing students to understand how games work behind the scenes and develop the ability to bring their own ideas to life. The week concludes with a student showcase, enhancing presentation and communication skills.

What a typical day looks like

A typical day begins with a class meeting and a "question of the day" to encourage interaction. This is followed by a mini-lesson or diving directly into hands-on project work. Full-day campers have lunch from 12:00-12:30 pm, supervised by Robofun staff, and then engage in outdoor activities or games before their afternoon class.
