What ages is the camp for?

Five through fourteen, split into age bands so a six-year-old and a thirteen-year-old are not handed the same worksheet.

What does my child come home with?

A finished build and the ability to explain it. Parents get a weekly summary of what was attempted, what failed, and what got fixed.

Do we need to buy anything?

No. Everything needed for the week is in the kit, and nothing depends on a device your family does not already own.
