This immersive day camp at Columbia University offers a dynamic blend of STEM skill development and traditional summer fun for children and teens. Participants engage in hands-on learning with expert tech mentors, exploring cutting-edge fields such as coding, game development, robotics, and 3D printing. Campers gain practical skills by transforming their innovative ideas into tangible projects, including creating apps, designing games, building BattleBots®, and crafting custom 3D models. The program fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity within a supportive environment. Beyond the labs, students enjoy campus exploration and recreational activities on outdoor playing fields, featuring ultimate frisbee, capture the flag, kickball, and board games.

A typical day begins with check-in and settling into labs between 8:30-9am, followed by morning announcements, icebreakers, and team-building activities. Students then split into course groups for coursework from 9:30am until noon, when they eat lunch in the campus dining hall. After more instruction from 1pm, a computer break at 2:30pm offers outdoor time, board games, and other activities before returning to labs for project work until 4:30pm, with pick-up between 4:30-5pm.
This camp is ideal for kids and teens aged 7-17 who are interested in developing STEM skills in coding, game development, robotics, and 3D printing, while experiencing campus life at Columbia University.
