Coding isn't just about computers. Studies show it strengthens academic performance in math, reading, and other areas. It also nurtures critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and communication – all essential for success in any field.

TMS STEMcamp is an introductory coding and robotics program delivered in partnership with local schools. Its aim is to provide educational opportunities to transform the lives of young children to learn, grow and develop through education.

Coding and Robotics Lab

What is the
STEMcamp

STEMcamp is a six-week coding and robotics camp, it offers a comprehensive introduction to these exciting fields. Participants will spend the first three weeks diving into coding with Google's CS First Curriculum. In the following three weeks, they'll put their skills to the test by designing, building, and programming their own robots. Led by experienced computer science teachers and enthusiastic student volunteers, the camp is designed to be both fun and educational. Through interactive activities and hands-on projects, young people will develop tangible skills and gain valuable experience, fostering their potential and passion for STEM careers and technology.

What will the child learn?

Coding Basics: Students will learn the fundamentals of coding using a visual programming language called Scratch.
Robotics: They'll apply their coding skills to control robots, exploring concepts like sensors, motors, and programming logic.
Problem-Solving: Coding and robotics activities will help students develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
Creativity: Students will have the opportunity to express their creativity through their coding projects.
Collaboration: Many of the activities involve teamwork, fostering collaboration and communication skills.
