The camp is run by the actual Paly Robotics FRC competition team in their lab space, offering a genuine STEM experience delivered by championship-level student mentors.
Paly Robotics Summer Camp offers middle and high school students an engaging, hands-on experience in robotics and related STEM fields. Campers learn the fundamentals of prototyping, designing, and assembling robots through activities and group challenges inspired by FIRST Robotics Competitions. The camp also provides opportunities to explore various aspects of software development, including programming in Python with applications in robotics. Beyond technical skills, students can delve into entrepreneurship and website design, learning to develop and launch professional startup companies, or cultivate design-based skills in animation and graphic design, creating animated shorts, movie posters, and merchandise designs. The program emphasizes problem-solving, teamwork, and creative thinking, all guided by experienced high school team members who act as mentors.
A typical day involves morning kickoffs focusing on core concepts like motor dynamics, sensors, and logic, followed by hands-on lab sessions for building and programming robots, with a supervised lunch break and social STEM activities.
This camp is ideal for rising 6th to 9th graders who have an interest in engineering and want to work alongside high-achieving older peers in a genuine STEM experience.
