Characteristics:
Storming Robots summer workshops are not “play-based robotic”. We are structured, engineering-focused programs that build real computational thinking and problem-solving skills—while still being engaging and fun. Check out our success history of our long term students.
Key advantages over typical play-based camps.
- Students work with real programming and robotics concepts -
- logic, algorithms, sensors, debugging), not just drag-and-drop play or scripted activities.
- Computational thinking as the core -
- We emphasize decomposition, flowcharts, “think first, then build,” and systematic testing—skills that transfer directly to math, science, and future CS courses.
- Progressive learning, not one-off project -
- Workshops are tied to a long-term roadmap in robotics and computer science, so what students learn in summer can continue into the school-year track and competitions.
- Small groups with technically strong instructors
- 4 to 8 : 1 students/instructor ratio
- Instructors are selected for both depth in CS/engineering and the ability to coach students through genuine problem-solving, not just supervise “activities.”
- Substance students can show later -
- Students leave with meaningful projects, code, and engineering artifacts that can be referenced in future coursework, portfolios, and competition preparation—not just a “fun week at camp.”
Program Principle: No “AI-Infused” Gimmicks
Premature exposure to AI tools can turn children into passive users rather than active thinkers.
At Storming Robots, our goal is to build the critical, transferable competencies that underpin AI and advanced computer science - the indispensable foundations that allow students to eventually create, not just consume. We focus on building future engineers and decision-makers—not tool operators.
Many programs now market themselves as “AI-infused,” which is often misleading. At the K–8 level, students are not building AI; they are still developing the computational thinking skills that prepare them to SHAPE it.
Format
8 weeks of Robotics and Adv. Programming Workshops for Novice to Advanced - Prepare student for an AI future.
2 groups: Gr.5-8 and Gr.8-12 - Grades 5–8 and Grades 8–12. Build engineering rigor thru fully autonomous robotics & CS — gain a strong edge for the new school year.
