Overview

Campers learn design, engineering, and robotics while immersing themselves in the world of Mario and Nintendo characters.  Students  build a LEGO motor-powered Mario racing kart, Yoshi, and Blue Falcon plane.  They design and program robotic creatures such as Solgaleo, the Pokemon lion, and Donkey Kong.

In the afternoon, students make their own computer games while learning coding fundamentals with MIT's Scratch software!  From a fun Breakout-like game with Yoshi or Princess Peach, to a Link mash-up game, students become game designers and take home their work to play with friends and family at home!

TechKnowHow has been offering tech programs to students in the Bay Area for over 25 years, and has received Best Tech Camp awards from parents through Bay Area Parent Magazine for many consecutive years.

Kids had a great time. They've always been computer savvy but never done any programming, but they took to the curriculum very quickly and were so enthusiastic about it we installed Scratch on our home computer and they've been working on the games they developed in class even after camp is over. They also enjoyed building the Lego cars. It did feel a bit disconnected in that the coding was totally separate from the Lego building, and I thought they would be building cars and then programming them to race. But overall a very positive experience.

The location in Berkeley was difficult to find and directions where to park and drop off weren't clear, but once we figured it out on day one the rest of the week was good. I'm glad we did it on a 3 day week (due to July 4th) as I think it would've gotten a bit repetitive for a full week.

The LEGO Robotics Camp was very good. Our 8 year old loved it. It was challenging to her, but she enjoyed every day and wanted to play more when it was time to leave. This is a very well run camp. It is very organized.
