Bot Camp — Robotics

My son recently attended Bot Camp in Toronto, and overall, it was a solid experience. He’s 9 and loves building things, so he really enjoyed working with his instructor, Jamie, who was both enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They built little robots and programmed them for various challenges. My son came home enthusiastic and eager to show us how his robot could navigate obstacles. The pickup process was organized and smooth, which was a relief. However, I did notice there were some long lines at drop-off, which could be frustrating if you’re in a hurry. While the camp had a good balance of hands-on activities and learning, I was surprised by how much screen time was incorporated, which I didn’t expect for a robotics camp. Overall, I’d recommend Bot Camp, especially for kids who are creative and love engineering, but I would suggest checking in on how the screen-time balance is managed.

My 9-year-old son attended Bot Camp in Toronto last week and had a great time. He spent the day building a robot that could navigate a small obstacle course, which he was really excited about. The instructor, Alex, was knowledgeable and kept the kids engaged, helping them work through challenges without it feeling overwhelming. One of the highlights for my son was making a friend who shares his interest in robotics. The only downside was the long lines during drop-off and pickup, which made it a bit chaotic at times. Overall, I'd recommend this camp, particularly for kids who are active and enjoy hands-on learning in STEM.
