Explore robotics, technology and art at University of Houston's Robot Discovery and Tech Camp program this summer! Have fun building and programming LEGO Mindstorm robots and make them meet new and exciting challenges. Make your own stop-motion animated movie or create mechanical sculptures that move, twirl and rotate!

At Robotics camp, held in a friendly, sports-like atmosphere, we focus on team-building, problem solving, creativity and fun for ages 3 - 17. Full day or 1.2 day is available: 9 - 12, 1 - 4 or 9 - 3. Students will be working with the widely known and popular plastic LEGO building blocks, including the more specialized pieces such as axles, gears, beams, wheels, motors, microcomputers, pneumatics and other parts that will enable them to safely create animated and exciting mechanical movements and other effects. The LEGO Technic System has been adopted as the standard material for robotic designers, because of their sophisticated and powerful set of mechanical design components. The fact that they can be disassembled and reconfigured as necessary is essential in testing, design, and instruction.
American Robotics Academy ® camp can provide the guidance and confidence to build simple working robots, as well as the inspiration for more complex robotic inventions.

The Children's Technology Workshop is a learning environment for kids to explore, invent and create by applying technology through innovative hands-on projects.

The Student of today and Practitioner of tomorrow must be a creative thinker and planner, willing to exercise good judgment to solve problems spanning many aspects of technology. With the technological environment we live in today and its increasing importance in the future, with Computers, Robots, Voice control systems, iPODs, Optical networks and a spectrum of other technologies, it is imperative that we give a student the edge they need to influence their environment.

With a hand’s on approach, each student will be given access to a robotics kit for the day's session. Each kit typically contains building parts, moving parts; the robots brain (Controller) and a variety of sensors (Touch, Eyes, and Hearing etc.). Challenges like racing, synchronized dancing, traversing a maze, and a variant of battle-bots competition are part of the program. Our knowledgeable team of Engineers and Computer Scientist s are passionate about the world of Robots. They will share their knowledge and passion with your children.

These range from pure Entertainment to programs of progressive levels of Learning and Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S.T.E.M.), using creative software and learning tools, programming and practical hands-on learning that are available for all ages.

Lego I (3 to 5 year olds)

BUILDING BRAINS uses LEGO Duplo and K’NEX educational kits to BUILD math and science skills. These educational building kits have specially designed gears, levers and pulleys that teach students to build simple machines that really work.



Our students will BUILD simple machines while BUILDING

fine motor skills and confidence.

Classes are designed to reinforce classroom curriculum.

Students use colors, sizes and shapes to correctly build a simple machine and then perform a scientific experiment to see how it works.

In each class students will build a new and exciting machine and watch it work!

Literacy skills are improved by memorizing poems with hand motions about gears, levers and pulleys to reinforce how they work and what they do.

Classes are progressive and BUILD on one another.

This is the next Generation of Critical thinking toys!

We wrap our hands and our head around a problem.

Lego II (6 to 9 Year olds)

Students will increase knowledge of math and science while building simple machines and MOTORIZE them with the NEWEST Lego Educational kits.
