Mars Code Academy | Grades 4-6
4-day Camp For Students Entering Grades 4-6 in Fall 2026
Blast off into the unknown! In this high-tech adventure, campers become part of a Mission Control Team tasked with exploring and engineering solutions for life on Mars. Through hands-on challenges, campers will learn the fundamentals of coding, robotics, and problem-solving as they design, build, and program robotic systems to complete simulated Martian tasks. Working together, they’ll navigate obstacle courses, test their designs, and tackle real-world engineering problems inspired by space exploration. Collaboration and creativity are key as these young innovators code, construct, and compute their way to success on the Red Planet!
Guided Activities
- Learn the basics of coding and automation through interactive challenges.
- Take on coding-free missions that show how clear communication and collaboration lead to success.
- Work as part of a Mission Control Team to solve engineering problems collaboratively.
- Apply real-world STEM thinking to navigate, explore, and innovate like a true space engineer.
Refund Policy:
- Full refunds will be given if requested more than 7 days before the start date of your camp.
- Partial refunds (50% tuition) will be given if requested 7 days or less of the start date of your camp.
- EventBrite fees are nonrefundable.
