A robot that turns left when you told it to turn right is not a judgment on t…Coding Summer CampAges 7-14 · 4,299 locationsMost coding camps teach syntax and lose the child by Wednesday. This one teaches the loop — write, run, it breaks, read the error, fix it — because th…Engineering Summer CampAges 7-14 · 4,299 locationsEngineering week is constraints week. A bridge that must hold a weight, with a fixed pile of materials and a deadline. Children who have never been to…Science Summer CampAges 5-14 · 4,299 locationsScience camp fails when it becomes a magic show — big reaction, loud noise, no idea why. Every demonstration here comes with a prediction written down…Math Summer CampAges 5-14 · 4,299 locationsSummer math loss is real and it compounds — students lose roughly two months of grade-level equivalency over a summer with no practice. A math camp we…Space & Astronomy Summer CampAges 7-14 · 4,299 locationsSpace is the best bait in STEM and the easiest to waste.

Balance, incentive, feedback loops, difficulty curves — a child who can explain why thei…AI Summer CampAges 10-14 · 4,299 locationsAn AI camp for children should spend more time on what the model gets wrong than on what it gets right. Students train small classifiers, watch them f…Electronics & Circuits Summer CampAges 8-14 · 4,299 locationsCircuits are the cleanest lesson in cause and effect a child can hold in their hands. Wire it wrong and nothing happens; there is no arguing with it, …Chemistry Summer CampAges 9-14 · 4,299 locationsChemistry week is where the ratio work from math class finally has a point. Molarity, concentration, reaction rate — every one of them is a proportion…Nature & Environmental Science CampAges 5-13 · 4,299 locationsField science is the antidote to the worksheet.

The camp uses the engagement and t…Girls STEM Summer CampAges 7-14 · 4,299 locationsGirls leave STEM in the middle-school years at a rate that has nothing to do with ability and everything to do with who is talking in the room. A girl…Neurodivergent-Friendly STEM CampAges 6-14 · 4,299 locationsNeurodivergent children are overrepresented in STEM talent and underserved by STEM teaching.

That decision is made on evidence they can see — a build that worked, a predic…Middle School STEM Summer CampAges 11-14 · 4,299 locationsMiddle school is the drop-off point. Students who were curious at ten start performing disinterest at twelve because being wrong in front of peers has…High School STEM Summer CampAges 14-18 · 4,299 locationsBy high school a camp has to be worth a teenager's summer.

Run it yourself — curriculum and program licensing
Schools and districts, churches, after-school programs, parks departments, YMCAs and youth clubs, homeschool co-ops, daycares and independent camp operators licence the same curriculum and run it under their own name. Week plans, materials lists, staff scripts, parent letters and the reporting.
