2026 Summer Camp Registration
We teach the fundamentals, hand students the right tools, and get to work making real things.
Creating a Godot Platformer Game: Students learn professional game engine logic. They write the code, build the physics, and debug the errors to compile a working digital game.
VEX Robotics: Search and Rescue: Students engineer a physical machine to solve a problem. They build the chassis, gear the motors, and write the logic required to navigate a set course.
3D Printing: Hex Maps: Students draft modular tabletop terrain in CAD. They learn the mathematics of intersecting shapes, slice the files, and operate the Bambu printers to manufacture their own physical maps.
3D Printing: Miniatures: Precision design work. Students focus on high-detail modeling, learning how to engineer structural supports so fragile digital designs survive the physical printing process.
Carpentry: Treasure Chest: This is raw, physical work. Students measure, cut, and join timber. They learn how to read a square, sink a screw, and assemble a solid, working chest.
Maker’s Market Carnival: Students prototype, build, and test physical games. They learn the mechanics of structural integrity and the practical process of constructing a working booth from scratch.
Cooking: 15-Minute Meals: A kitchen is simply another workshop. Students learn heat control, knife safety, and prep discipline. If a sauce breaks or a pan gets too hot, we teach them how to correct it and salvage the meal.
Classic Chemistry: Precision is the primary focus. Students handle real lab equipment, measure exact ratios, and document chemical reactions safely and accurately.
The instruction comes from people who actually build, code, and cook. Classes are capped at a strict 16 students so everyone gets direct, hands-on mentorship.
A student will hit a wall—a mechanism won't clear, or a recipe feels off. The instructor is right there at the bench. They don't take the tools away or do the assembly for them. They point to the blueprints, ask the right question, and guide the student to the mechanical solution.
A project provides honest feedback. We make sure students walk out the door with proof of the work they put in, and the skills to do it again.
