Wizbots Robotics Camps

Specialties

Wizbots combines LEGO® robotics, Java coding, and lots of imagination to provide a unique STEM learning experience for kids (ages 7 – 14) in various locations around the San Francisco Bay Area.

In Wizbots Robotics Labs, kids engage in product design, tech challenges, team games, and open-​ended creativity. Kids journey through our extensive, project-​based curriculum, earning bands of accomplishment with each promotion. And, families enjoy viewing completed project videos online, which can be shared with family and friends. Girls and boys, alike, find Wizbots instantly engaging, social, and fun! We operate year-​round through Summer Camps, After School programs, and Birthday Parties. No matter when kids join us, they are always doing something new.

After School: Each season, kids attend the Lab once a week, for 90 minutes at a time. You can find our labs in over 40 participating schools throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Summer Camps: We offer half day, full day, and extended care options throughout the summer. Our camps are led by experienced staff that lead our year-​round after school programs, and all campers ages 7 – 14 are welcome. We have convenient locations across the Bay Area.

Birthday Parties: Wizbots will also help you throw a fun birthday party for your child by bringing to your home a full cart of equipment and providing 90 minutes of hands-​on robotics fun.
