Coding & Robotics Weekend Program
Join us this summer to explore the exciting world of coding and robotics!
Our programs are tailored to suit every age group: introducing the Babies, our youngest learners, to hands-on STEM activities, making technology fun and accessible for Minis through their favorite games and robotic sets, and encouraging Juniors to take on competition-level challenges while discovering the endless possibilities of AI.
This summer, Young Coders will tap into their potential and ignite a passion for tech at YCA!
This summer, our Baby Coders are in for an exciting adventure during a fun-filled, 5-day camp designed just for them! Through our project-based, theme-centric weekly program, learning feels just like playtime — lively, imaginative, and hands-on.
Each week introduces a brand-new theme that brings STEM to life in ways young minds can easily grasp. Through interactive, practical projects, Baby Coders begin to explore the fundamentals of coding and robotics in a way that feels more like discovery than instruction.
We start each day with storytelling sessions that spark imagination and set the stage for the day's theme. These stories seamlessly lead into screen-free coding activities, where children engage in playful exercises that help them understand new coding concepts and logic blocks in a tangible, age-appropriate way.
Once they’ve grasped the day’s coding foundation, we transition to iPads where Baby Coders bring their ideas to life —snapping block-icons together to create simple programs and see their creations in action.
By blending screen-free exploration with guided screen-based experiences, our approach keeps learning balanced, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. At YCA, Baby Coders don't just learn — they experience technology in a way that feels natural, joyful, and unforgettable.
Over the course of the summer holiday, Mini Coders will dive into action-packed 5-day camps, where coding and robotics meet creativity and play. Through our project-based weekly program, we turn big ideas — like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning — into fun, hands-on experiences that feel both exciting and achievable, even for young learners.
In the morning sessions, we focus on coding fundamentals and game design. Mini Coders will explore how to use events to trigger actions, variables to track player stats, and loops to animate characters or objects. They'll experiment with if-then logic to create interactive gameplay and personalize their game worlds with custom rules and mechanics.
For those with more experience, there's room to go even deeper: building custom game features, programming NPCs (non-player characters), and developing systems that recognize patterns, make decisions, and respond to player input — just like real AI systems!
In the afternoons, the adventure shifts to robotics and engineering. Here, Mini Coders roll up their sleeves to explore mechanical design, motors, sensors, and the basics of physical computing. They'll build robots that move, react, navigate mazes, push objects, and even compete in fun challenges.
As they design and test their robots, kids will naturally explore key engineering concepts like gears, balance, and structural stability, all while using block-based coding to control movement, sense the environment, and make logic-driven decisions.
By the end of the week, our Mini Coders will have built games, programmed smart robots, and developed real tech skills — all while having an unforgettable time!
Each week, Junior Coders take on real-world programming and engineering challenges that push their creativity and technical skills to the next level. Whether you're an aspiring software developer or a future robotics engineer, you'll find the perfect mix of innovation, hands-on learning, and fun in our immersive 5-day camp.
In the morning sessions, Junior Coders will dive into advanced coding concepts used in professional game and app development. They'll work with variables, functions, loops, and conditional logic, gaining practical experience building more complex and dynamic programs.
But we don’t stop there — Juniors will also explore the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning. They’ll go beyond surface-level introductions, learning how AI is transforming industries today. Through hands-on projects, they'll engage with real-world concepts like data sets, neural networks, and training models, while understanding how AI powers everything from self-driving cars to recommendation engines and personalized learning systems.
In the afternoons, the focus shifts to robotics and systems engineering. Junior Coders will learn how to use sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers to build smart, automated systems — such as temperature-controlled fans, motion-activated lights, and intelligent security devices.
Along the way, they’ll dive into core robotics engineering concepts like gear ratios, torque, structural stability, and center of gravity — all essential for designing and optimizing robots to complete specific tasks. They’ll even integrate 3D modeling with Arduino-powered robotics, blending digital design with physical engineering to bring their creations to life.
By the end of the week, Junior Coders will not only have leveled up their programming and robotics abilities — they’ll also walk away with the confidence and experience to think like real engineers and tech creators.
Our camp offers flexibility, allowing parents to enroll their children for one or more weeks. Each week offers a fresh learning experience, ensuring that children remain curious and excited about what comes next.
