School Break Camps

Oct 12 – Minecraft Programming & Redstone Electronics Camp – In this Minecraft Programming & Redstone Electronics Camp, students will build problem-solving and design skills by using command blocks and Redstone to create impressive projects with real programming logic. This camp offers an engaging introduction to how computers process commands an excellent foundation for campers who want to continue into computer science, coding, and engineering.

Using Minecraft’s Redstone blocks, which act like wires on a breadboard, campers will explore electronics in a virtual world with essentially infinite resources. Students will build and test creations that represent real electrical circuits, logic systems, and simple computer-style projects, gaining a deeper understanding of circuitry, electronics, and electrical theory in a fun, accessible way.

Campers will reinforce coding fundamentals through hands-on challenges and builds designing large-scale Minecraft elevators, roller coasters, automated mechanisms, and more. With guidance from our experienced instructors, campers will grow their confidence as creators and engineers and take home their Redstone creations at the end of the week.

Nov 2-3 3D Printing & Roblox Design Camp – In this exciting 3D Printing & Roblox Design Camp, students will learn to create original 3D models from both an artistic and engineering perspective, then bring their creativity to life by designing interactive games and worlds using Roblox Studio. Combining hands-on design with digital game creation, campers build skills that connect imagination, technology, and real-world problem solving.

In the 3D Printing portion of camp, students will learn the fundamentals of 3D modeling while discovering what to consider when constructing a model for the best-quality print. Campers will observe a 3D printer during lessons to understand proper printing standards and processes, then design their own creations that will be printed for them. By the end of camp, students will take home their own accounts to continue modeling at home and at least one printed model they designed.

Campers will also explore Roblox game design through Roblox Studio, learning key concepts like level design, player experience, storytelling, 3D world building, and programming logic. Students will create immersive environments, design engaging challenges, and add interactive elements to their games. With guidance from our experienced instructors, campers will develop their confidence as creators while building a finished Roblox game they can play and share online.

Dec 28-31 3D Printing & Redstone Electronics Camp – In this exciting 3D Printing & Redstone Electronics Camp, students will learn how to design their own 3D models and bring them to life through 3D printing, while also exploring electronics and circuitry concepts using Minecraft Redstone. Combining hands-on design with virtual engineering, campers build skills that connect creativity, technology, and real-world problem solving.

In the 3D Printing portion of camp, students will learn the fundamentals of 3D modeling from both an artistic and engineering perspective. Because their designs will be printed, campers will discover what to consider when constructing a model to produce the best-quality print. Students will observe a 3D printer during lessons to understand proper printing standards and processes, then create original models that will be printed for them. By the end of camp, students will take home their own accounts to continue modeling at home and at least one printed model they designed.

Campers will also dive into electronics using Minecraft Redstone, where Redstone blocks act like wires on a breadboard to create working circuits and simple computer-style systems. Students will build and test projects that represent real electrical circuits and logic systems, gaining a foundation in circuitry, electronics, and how computers process commands. With guidance from our experienced instructors, campers will strengthen their design thinking, engineering skills, and confidence as they create and take home their Redstone creations.

Jan 18 Comics & Game Design Camp – In this Comic & Game Design Camp, students will learn the fundamentals of programming, art, and level design to create a video game from the ground up. Using a game engine with integrated art software and an easy-to-use events system, students have the freedom to create a product that is truly their own.

This camp also explores the incredible world of Comic Book Illustration, teaching students character development, storyboarding, paneling, story design, color theory, and how to hone their art style. Instructors will teach students how to create comics using traditional art along with digital software, so they may work comfortably in whichever medium they prefer.

Campers will explore the history of video games by playing classic ones to see the advancement of technology, while developing their artistic vision across both digital game design and comic creation. With the help of our experienced instructors, students will develop their coding, game design, and illustration skills in a fun, creative environment that encourages innovation and self-expression. By the end of the camp, each student will leave with their own video game creation and comic book.
