Summer Camp
We are not offering 2024 Summer Camps!!
2023 Summer
Our innovative Robotics and Python Coding camps are designed to inspire creativity and enhance diverse skills among students in grades 4 to 9. Our unique approach integrates coding with Math, Science, and Games, providing a fun and engaging learning experience for all students.
During the Robotics camp, students will have the opportunity to build and code UBTECH robots using the Ukit app. They will also engineer animal, humanoid, and custom-designed robots to solve real-world challenges, encouraging creativity and problem-solving skills.
Students will learn Python programming in the Python Coding Camp using design thinking and computational thinking skills. Also, they will get the chance to collaborate and work hands-on on projects, developing teamwork and problem-solving skills.
(1) Robotics Camp
Hours: 8:30 am to 10:00am Monday through Friday, June 5th to June 23rd(3 weeks), 2023
Place: ERB 1100, Environmental Research Building, Boise State University
Tuition: $180
Activities:
Robotics camp offers a fun and engaging learning experience for students in math, science, and gaming. Using UBTECH robots, students will learn to code their robots using the Ukit app, complete various coding challenges, and develop Blockly coding skills to enhance their computational thinking abilities.Â
The Robotics camp involves building and engineering different types of robots, including animals such as elephants, snails, snakes, and octopuses, as well as humanoid, fan, grabber, and traffic cop robots. Students will also be challenged to build and code custom-designed robots using materials found in the robotics kits.Â
The Robotics camp provides a unique opportunity for students to combine technical skills with creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, making it an enriching and enjoyable experience.
(2) Python Coding Camp
Hours: 10:10 am to 11:40am Monday through Friday, June 5th to June 23rd (3 weeks), 2023
Place: ERB 1100, Environmental Research Building, Boise State University
Tuition: $130
Activities:
During this three-week camp, students will learn how to code with Python while also developing their problem-solving skills, creativity, and analytical abilities through applying design and computational thinking skills. Students will be guided through the entire process, from the basics of coding to more advanced coding concepts, such as loops, functions, and classes. Students will also learn how to apply computational thinking methods to real-world problems, including defining, abstracting, computing, and interpreting.
The combination of Python coding with design thinking and computational thinking methods will help students to think creatively, critically, and analytically. Students will also have the opportunity to work collaboratively on projects, learning how to work as a team to solve problems and build solutions.

2016 Explore Robot & Scratch!
GameStudio at Boise State University is pleased to announce that two summer camps will be on summer 2016: Explore Robotics and Scratch! Each camp has a three-week program.
  
Robotics
Hours: 8:30 am to 10:30am Monday through Friday, June 6th to June 24th, 2016
Scratch
Hours: 10:30 am to 12:30pm Monday through Friday, June 6th to June 24th, 2016
2015 Play with Robot
In this camp, each student would make their robots using Lego NXT kits and they will learn how to make programs which make the robots move, make sounds and say some words! After students are get used to manipulate their robots, they will have many mathematical and entertaining activities with the robots. By making robots by themselves and doing various activities with robots, students will improve their creativity and problem-solving ability.
2014 Play with Scratch
In this camp, we will teach Math functions, Science and problem through the use of Scratch programming language by the MIT Media Lab. Participants will learn how to solve problems using functions and science knowledge while making their own games by Scratch programming. This camp is geared toward grade 3-7 students who seek to learn with math and science related games that are lots of fun. Through this camp, participants will be able to grasp an understanding of the concepts of Math functions as well as a structural and systematical programming skill. Our pursuit of this program eventually is to improve our students’ problem solving and logical thinking and to provide participants with the opportunity to apply their knowledge towards creating their own products.

2012 Scratch Summer Camp
GameStudio annually holds a two-week-long Summer Camp that teaches algebra and functions in math through the use of Scratch programming language by the MIT Media Lab. In this camp, participants will learn the concept of functions while making their own games by Scratch programming. This camp is geared toward grade 5-7 students who seek to learn math in fun ways. Through this camp, students will be able to grasp an understanding of the concept of functions as well as a structural and systematical programming skill. Our pursuit of this program eventually is to improve students’ mathematical-logical thinking and to provide them with the opportunities to apply their knowledge into various projects. You can find our program schedule in the following section.
