Build something hard. Demo it.
A summer camp where kids build real projects on Scratch, Roblox Studio, or Claude Code — and present a technical demo on Friday. Five days. 30 hours. One project they're proud to ship.
The kids who build something hard at 10 are the ones who'll build something extraordinary at 25.
Most camps teach kids to follow tutorials. We teach them to think like scientists, build like engineers, and compete like athletes.
Kids build on the same platforms professionals use — Scratch, Roblox Studio, and Claude Code with AI assistance. The ambition scales with their age and skill, but the tools are real.
Friday is demo day. Each kid presents their project to the room — what they built, why, and what was hard. Public speaking, technical fluency, and confidence in one stage.
Daily talks on robotics & AI, brain–computer interfaces, and biotechnology — pitched at their age group. Not buzzwords. The actual fields they'll work in.
Scratch
Block-based logic, games, animations
Show it working. Explain one decision you made and why.
Roblox Studio
Lua scripting, 3D worlds, mechanics
What problem did you solve? What broke, and how did you fix it?
Claude Code / Gemini
AI-assisted development, real code
Walk through your architecture. Defend your technical choices.

Yes. Projects are tiered by age and skill — younger kids start with Scratch (no prior coding needed), and instructors meet kids where they are. The goal isn't expertise, it's finishing something real and being able to talk about it.
A working project they built, the experience of demoing it publicly, and a way of thinking — break down a hard problem, plan a solution, ship it. They'll also have files and accounts they can keep building on after camp ends.
Mixed-age cohorts are intentional. Older kids mentor younger ones (which deepens their own understanding), and younger kids see what they can grow into. We keep the ratio at 1 instructor per 5 students so no one gets lost.
No. The day includes a daily talk, group ideation, planning, hands-on building, peer demos, and reflection. Screen time is purposeful — they're building, not consuming. There are also breaks, lunch, and discussion time.
A full hour for lunch (12–1pm) plus shorter breaks throughout the day. Bring your own lunch — we provide snacks and water. Drop-off is at 9am, pickup at 3pm.

Yes — and we strongly encourage it. Friday demo day at 10:30am is open to family. Watching your kid present their own technical work is genuinely something else.
When the spots are gone, they're gone. Lock in a week before they fill.
