Holiday Camp
Five days, 10am–3pm. Build a more complex robot each day and compete in a parent showcase on day five.
What to expect
The most immersive format we offer. Each day builds on the last - students start with a basic chassis and end the week with a fully-coded competition robot. Afternoons are for deep coding sessions where students explore sensors, logic and control loops. Day five ends with a parent showcase and a formal challenge. The jump in capability from day one to day five is always striking.
Is this right for you?
- Students who want intensive, rapid progress
- Those with a half-term or summer week free

"The change from day one to day five is remarkable. They arrive not knowing what a sensor is and leave having coded a competition robot."

How a session works
Settle in and get your kit
Meet your group, grab your robot components and hear what today's challenge is about.
Build
Assemble the chassis, connect motors and wire up sensors - guided step by step.
Code and test
Write your first control programme, upload it and watch the robot move.
Debug and improve
When something does not work - figure out why. Adjust, re-test, improve. Repeat.
Challenge and celebrate
Head-to-head with other groups. Win or lose, you built something real today.
