JUNIOR ROBOTICS – LEGO SPIKE
Inspiring young minds to learn and create with technology! This course is designed to introduce younger students to technology fundamentals with a series of LEGO coding & robotics projects. Students will take on different missions every day by building and programming their own LEGO robotic models.
The lessons have been developed to engage and motivate primary school students, piquing their interest in learning about design, engineering and coding using motorised models and simple programming.
The course enables pupils to express a wide range of creative solutions as they sketch, build and test prototypes of the designs they create.
TEEN ROBOTICS – ARDUINO
On this course, students learn how to design, assemble, and program a robot, using their own Arduino microcontrollers. Coursemates work as a team to build their own remote-control robot. They also take part in fun competitions with other robots, using cool tools and weapons they designed.
This is the perfect course for R2-D2 fans who want to learn hands-on robotic programming and build their own robot!
Please note: a hardware surcharge of CHF 100 applies to all Arduino students (they keep their own robots).
Some courses might not be available at every camp – check your preferred location and dates to view course offering.
This course can welcome a maximum of 6 students. Sign up early to secure your spot!

LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential, part of the LEGO® Learning System, is the cross-curricular STEAM solution for elementary education. SPIKE Essential engages students in hands-on investigation of STEAM concepts while contributing to literacy, math, and social-emotional development. Standards-aligned learning units use everyday themes, relatable Minifigures with different personalities and familiar LEGO® building elements to solve problems through storytelling.
SPIKE Essential consists of a main classroom brick set with a wide variety of LEGO® elements and intelligent hardware, along with the intuitive SPIKE™ App, all of which is accompanied by a selection of unit plans and comprehensive online and in-app support.
SPIKE Essential excites students and delivers strong STEAM learning outcomes, developing their STEAM knowledge and practices, and 21st century skills.
Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
