Robotics

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) based classes have been on the rise in education, linking education and the current and future workforce together. Because of this, Camp Foothills is dedicated to choosing a camp curriculum that supports the need for STEM based education camps, while making sure it is interesting, fun, and hands on for students. LEGO Robotics has always been a popular way to engage students in STEM programs. LEGO Robotics allows students to work with computers to develop code that moves their robots around.

This year, Camp Foothills has teamed up with Play-Well TEKnologies for our Robotics classes. Play-Well is a program designed to provide LEGO inspired engineering classes and camps for K-8. 

Play-Well says of their programs: "Our Core Engineering programs are our biggest “sandbox;” this is the safe space for kids to learn and discover the most through play. It’s about the process, not the result. Themed classes and camps explore imaginative worlds that kids already know and love, such as Star Wars or Ninjago... These programs are broad in theme and draw upon the greatest variety of possible projects."

Here at Camp Foothills, we're excited to see the kids engaged in the programs offered with Play-Well TEKnologies throughout summer. Look through our brochure for opportunities to participate in programs such as LEGO Engineers (week 3), LEGO Minecraft (week 4), LEGO Ninja Engineering (week 8), and more!
