Give your child a meaningful, hands-on STEM experience these school holidays! Autumn Holiday Camps with Young Engineers help students learn by building, coding, and experimenting — all while having fun in a supportive classroom environment.
For Kindergarten to Year 7 Students
Dates & venues:
SAMUEL GILBERT PUBLIC SCHOOL | Wed 8 & Thurs 9 April | Ridgecrop Dr, Castle Hill.
BAULKHAM HILLS NORTH PUBLIC SCHOOL | Wed 15 & Thurs 16 April | 2 Girralong Ave, Baulkham Hills.
What kids can expect:
ENGINEERING & MECHANICAL CONCEPTS
Students explore real-world engineering principles through hands-on builds, including:
- Gears, axles, pulleys, and belt transmission systems
- Understanding motion, speed, and force
- Applying basic maths such as counting rotations, ratios, and measurements
- Solving challenges using brick-based construction
ROBOTICS & SMART TECHNOLOGY
Students will:
- Build and control robots using LEGO® WeDo kits
- Use smart hubs, motors, and sensors to bring models to life
- Learn how hardware and software work together
- Test, modify, and improve designs through guided challenges
CODING & PROGRAMMING
For all students (K–7):
- Visual programming using WeDo coding
- Logical thinking, sequencing, and debugging
- Connecting code to physical movement using motors and smart hubs
For Years 4–7:
- Introduction to Scratch &Arduino coding
- Understanding inputs, outputs, and basic electronics
- Writing simple programs to control hardware
- Building confidence in real-world programming concepts
Learning outcomes
By the end of the camp, students will:
- Understand core engineering and mechanical principles
- Gain confidence in coding and robotics
- Apply mathematical thinking in practical situations
- Improve problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork
- Experience the satisfaction of building and programming working projects
Timings and structure of the day
Robotics Camp runs daily from 9am – 3pm. Parent drop off from 8.45am and pick up from 2.45pm.
Pickup and drop instructions will be shared 3 days before the camp start dates and will be emailed to all the parents.
Each day, students will participate in 3x LEGO robotics build sessions, divided throughout the day to keep learning engaging and interactive.
- Session 1:LEGO Robotics Build
- Snack Break
- Session 2:LEGO Robotics Build & Challenges
- Lunch Break
- Session 3:LEGO Robotics Build & Challenges
Each session focuses on hands-on building, coding, teamwork, and exciting robotics challenges.
Children to bring a packed lunch, snack and water bottle.
