The camp offers screen-free, hands-on learning using RoboThink's exclusive robotics kits and NGSS-aligned curriculum, focusing on real STEM concepts.
During the RoboThink Northwest Chicago Summer Camp - Space Adventures, students embark on an exciting journey to Mars, inspired by real NASA missions like Curiosity and Perseverance. Campers will actively engage in building Mars rovers using RoboThink's exclusive engineering hardware, including gears, motors, and axles. Through hands-on challenges and creative problem-solving, they will explore how rovers move, collect 'samples,' and navigate diverse terrains. A key activity involves designing and constructing their own mini spaceship models, fostering imagination and engineering skills. The program emphasizes core STEM concepts in a playful and supportive environment, encouraging experimentation and bringing imaginative ideas to life. Students will gain practical experience in robotics, engineering, and critical thinking, all while nurturing a love for science and discovery.
A typical day involves new builds, hands-on experiments, and fun missions that spark curiosity about space and robotics, with full-day sessions running from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
This camp is best for young builders aged 6-12 who love animals, robots, or both, and are curious about space and engineering.
