Happy Kids Robotics runs themed robotics camps in Glendora when school is out. Each week stands on its own, so your child can take one or stack several without ever repeating a build.
Mechanisms, from claw bots to catapults to tug of war rigs. Build in the morning, test in the afternoon, change the thing that failed. Best for students new to this, or young enough that finishing something matters more than refining it.
The robot has a job and the student has to make it do that job without touching the controller. Line following, maze clearing, drawing shapes, driving a path. This is where sensors and logic come in.
The competition week. Students work in teams on strategy, path planning and iteration, scoring against each other by the end of it. Repeatable, because the problem changes every time.
This is the summer rotation in order. Dates are confirmed each year, so ask us which weeks are open before you plan around them.
Dates are not listed here on purpose. We would rather send you the confirmed calendar than have you plan a holiday around a week that moved. Message us through the enrolment form and we will tell you what is open.
Camps run in the summer as a rotation of themed weeks, and we also run shorter camps over school breaks. Dates for each year are set in advance. Ask us for the current calendar and we will send you the weeks that are open.
Yes, and many do. The rotation is built so the three tracks alternate, which means a student can stack several weeks without repeating a build. The Boot Camp weeks are deliberately open-ended so returning students get a different problem each time.
No. Little Engineers weeks assume nothing at all. The Build and Code weeks assume a willingness to stick with a problem for a few days, which is a different thing from experience.
Themselves, a water bottle and lunch. Everything to build with is here: kits, parts, laptops, field.
