STEM exCEL provides a low student-to-instructor ratio, averaging 8:1, to ensure personalized support and a comfortable learning environment for students.
In the STEM exCEL Robotics and Roblox Camp, students engage in hands-on activities to design, build, and program Lego Mindstorms EV3 robots, applying engineering concepts and advanced sensor programming skills to solve various challenges. This serves as a foundational step for those interested in competitive robotics like First Lego League (FLL). Concurrently, campers delve into Roblox Studio, learning important game design concepts, 3D modeling, and programming logic to create immersive 3D game worlds. They develop skills in building virtual environments, designing levels, and incorporating 3D art and animation. The camp fosters creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking through a blend of physical robot construction and digital game development, allowing students to create their own playable 3D games and gain a deeper understanding of computer science concepts.
A typical day includes core hours from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with opportunities for early drop-off at 8:30 AM and late pick-up at 4:30 PM for an additional fee.
This camp is ideal for students in 1st through 6th grade who are looking to get started with robotics and coding, and who enjoy 3D games and creative problem-solving.
