Storming Robots Technology Learning Lab is the ONLY authorized LEGO MINDSTORMS Center in N.J. We use hands-on exploration to offer fun and challenges for both novice and experts. We aim to inspire and help the children to explore the intricate world of artificial intelligence.

Children will build robots from scratch. Virtually, no two robots will be idential. They will also learn to perform structural programming to bring their robots alive as command.

We use intuitive computer software and award winning robotics learning tools. Our themed-based programs are integrated with computer science, engineering, math, teamwork and communication. We have received many positive feedbacks toward our captivating projects which not only offer fun and challenges, but also allow campers to exercise their imagination.

Samples themes like:
- Robo500 Challenge: Speed Race.
- The Atoms Family: using robotic activities to simulate the basic rules of how molecules binding to one another.
- The NanoTech Mission: using robotic activities to simulate some basic disciplines in nanotechnolgy.
- and many more...

High School freshmen, sophomores and juniors are invited to apply for an intensive 1 week or 2 weeks summer Robotics Camp offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), and sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and GameX.
The intent of the camp is to motivate the most creative minds of a new generation of prospective Electrical and Computer Engineers to become global leaders in an increasingly technological world. The program aims to create a community of students who participate in and contribute to an intensive and powerful academic experience delivered by distinguished educators and professionals.
Camp participants will be introduced through a residential College academic experience to the exciting field of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and will learn topics not traditionally taught in High Schools such as Microcontroller Programming, Sensing Systems, Digital Electronics, Computer Vision, Virtual Simulations and more.
The participant will work with Electrical and Computer Engineering students and professors, and interact with professional engineers from the Industry.
TCNJ offers a superior learning environment, and these experiences take place in specialized laboratories.
