2025–2026 Winter Robotic Bootcamp (5 Days) for 8-18 years old

2025–2026 Winter Robotic Bootcamp (5 Days)

Hey there, future tech whizzes! Join our 5-Day Winter Robotic Bootcamp from Dec 28–31, 2025 and Jan 2, 2026 in Milpitas! Students ages 10–18 will learn to program and operate robots, complete hands-on challenges, and compete in daily robot competitions. No coding experience required. Camp runs 9:30 AM–4:30 PM at 1595 McCarthy Blvd. A fun and inspiring way to build robotics and STEM skills!

Every camp participant will receive multiple Robots for the bootcamp and to take home.

This is a collection of day camps around Robot PU curriculum with a clear pedagogical flow:

• Morning sessions → structured learning: students explore concepts, functions, and technical skills.
• Afternoon sessions → playful application: students use what they learned in competitive or creative challenges.

This rhythm ensures balance between knowledge acquisition and experiential practice, reinforcing STEM learning through gamified activities.

Curriculum Design Concept

• Morning Learning Blocks: Focused exploration of Robot PU’s mechanics, sensors, communication, and expressive features. Students gain hands-on familiarity with tools and protocols.
• Afternoon Application Games: Transform learning into fun competitions—sports, dance, navigation, and hacking challenges. These activities foster teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving.
• Progressive Difficulty: Each day builds on the previous, moving from basic introductions to advanced programming and communication.
• Gamified Engagement: Afternoon competitions act as “quests,” motivating students to apply skills in playful, story-driven contexts.

This design ensures that by the end of the camp, students will have:

• Explored robotics fundamentals (movement, balance, sensors, communication).
• Experienced creative expression (dance, talent show).
• Practiced competitive problem-solving (soccer, maze, hacker game).
• Built confidence in hands-on STEM learning through Robot PU.
