Lehigh Valley, PA Coding and Robotics Classes and Camps for Kids

Kidbots (K-2nd)

In this junior robotics course, we use a hands-on approach to STEM discovery. Students learn valuable coding concepts while tapping into their imaginations to create and program robots. Step by step, we build for a variety of cool Lego robots based around a motor and controller. Then, kids use a block based programming language to make their creation come to life! It’s educational, cool, and FUN!

Scratch Jr Game Time Coding (K-2nd)

Calling all young coders who want to learn the basics of coding while exploring different locations around the globe, outer space, and more! Students will design their own short movies and animations using coding skills in Scratch, Jr. Each class offers a new and exciting backdrop where kids can let their imaginations go wild!

Minecraft Code: World Adventure (1st-2nd)

Grab your passports, we are off to explore new worlds within the Minecraft realm! Students will learn to move, explore, build, and code within Minecraft while visiting exciting places including ancient Egypt, Tokyo Disneyland, Chicago, the wizarding world of Hogwarts, and more! Students will use their knowledge and creativity to design projects on their own. Students do not need prior experience with Minecraft.

Earthbots (3rd-5th)

Using LEGO® robotics, students will learn about some of the coolest environments on the planet. They will create and program robots to: withstand the heat of volcanoes and avoid any lava in the way, have just the right amount of friction to pull their way up steep and snowy mountains, withstand the pressure of the ocean as they raise a periscope from its darkest depths, and more!

AI Gaming & Machine Learning (4th-5th)

Have you ever wondered…

• How Alexa can understand and respond to you?
• How enemies in video games can work together to try and beat the player?
• Or how Google can guess what you are searching for before you finish typing?

In this course, students learn introductory concepts of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Kids will use concepts (including augmented reality, simulated learning and functions, and AI behaviors) to create fast-paced interactive games such as Fruit Ninja, Chatbots, and AI Pets!

Web & App Dev: Global Explorer (6th-8th)

Let’s travel! The world wide web can connect people on opposite sides of the globe, and makes it possible to share content and ideas internationally. In this course, you’ll use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build, design, and customize your own website or web-based apps based on a country of your choosing! It will be an exciting opportunity for students to highlight the many nations and cultures across the globe.

aweSTEM Camp (K-2nd)

Kids have a blast solving problems, designing projects and creatively expressing themselves in this fun-filled camp!

We teach STEM concepts to our youngest learners using hands-on activities help to develop critical and creative thinking skills. Our students will create fun projects to demonstrate their new knowledge including Line of Sight puppets and Code Strings! Taking what they have learned, kids will be able to bring their imaginations to life in full, 3D color. Using a block coding program, kids will learn about loops, variables, and constructors while coding their own 3D video game including Frogger Freeway, Underwater Diving, and Sports Games! Students continue to put valuable coding concepts into action by building cool Lego robots and programming them to come to life! This aweSTEM camp is educational, cool, and FUN!

Coding: Game Lab Camp (3rd-5th)

In this camp, kids don’t just play video games, they get to CREATE them by learning and apply coding and game design skills. Learning about Java, kids will create their own “mods” (or modifications) in the game and literally “hack” the game to bring their imaginations to life! They will create awesome min-games such as Blocky Races, Ravine Runner, and Swoop De Loop! Then, we take Scratch one level further by using it to explore AI and Machine Learning concepts including augmented reality and simulated learning and functions. With this knowledge, they can create fast-paced interactive games such as Fruit Ninjas, Chatbots, and AI Pets! Before the adventure is over, we make a stop in Roblox Studio (an aspiring game developer’s playground) to teach game design principles so kids can build/code Obby’s and self-made worlds!

Robotics Camp (3rd-5th)

Kids have a blast solving problems, designing projects and creatively expressing themselves in this fun-filled camp! Using exciting hands-on activities, kids engage multiple areas of their brain which allows for learning to happen from real life experiences. With emphasis on robotics, kids will build animals and pokemon robots while learning about gravity, friction, and torque. They will program these creatures to come to life with their coding know-how! We also take kids on a journey “out of this world” through the solar system. With space rovers they can construct and program, students explore the planets, deal with atmosphere changes, and conquer changes in gravity. Robotics are the only cool thing a young coder can see and touch. With micro:bit circuit boards, kids can program a wide set of games including Flappy Bird, Obstacle Scroller, and more! They program their very own video game console!

AI/Machine Learning + Earthbots (3rd-5th)

In this course, students learn introductory concepts of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Kids will use these concepts (including augmented reality, simulated learning and functions, and AI behaviors) to create fast-paced interactive games such as Fruit Ninja, Chatbots, Rock/Paper/Scissors, and AI Pets!

Using LEGO® robotics, students will learn about some of the coolest environments on the planet. They will create and program robots to: withstand the heat of volcanoes and avoid any lava in the way, have just the right amount of friction to pull their way up steep and snowy mountains, withstand the pressure of the ocean as they raise a periscope from its darkest depths, and more!

Coding: Game Lab Camp (6th-8th)

We all use some of the most popular programming languages everyday – YouTube, Google, and Instagram! In this class, students explore fundamental coding concepts while working with specific “real world” programming languages including Java, Lua, and Python! While learning Java fundamentals, kids customize Minecraft minigames and mods such as Blocky Races, Spleef, and even create their own Lucky Blocks! Exploring the world of Roblox Studio (a game developer’s playground), kids code using Lua (the leading scripting language in games), create their own games and publish what they make! Using the same mechanics found in popular games such as Tetris, Space Invaders, and Animal Crossing, our students will build their own video game while learning the fundamentals of Python!
