School’s out for the summer and most kids are singing, “No more pencils, no more books!” But summer is a terrific time for kids to recognize that learning is also about exploring the world and naturally discovering that it can be fun! JunioTech Kids Academy has planned a summer full of unique and creatively designed summer technology camps that will teach your kids valuable, useful skills — the fun way!

The JunioTech Kids Academy offers a variety of tech summer camps for kids in Calgary at the University of Calgary. Designed for kids ages 7 – 14, these camps focus on robotics, coding, and engineering and will help prepare children for the technological future. The goal for these JunioTechs is to grow into educated, intelligent, and STEM-strong leaders. Think of the benefits of giving your child an early start and competitive advantage in today’s specialized world!

Kids will learn and develop while they’re having fun and staying occupied at summer camp! Camps at JunioTech like Lego EV3 teach kids engineering skills and introduce them to the First Lego League (FLL) Robotics competition concepts and values. All the programs offered by JunioTech are geared towards preparing students for the robotics & coding competitions, such as FLL and Hackathon. JunioTech students actively participate and lead in such competitions. Attending summer camps with JunioTech means learning from the Alberta robotics champions! Oh, and did you know that competitive FLL robotics teams from JunioTech won regional FLL robotics tournaments in Calgary and Edmonton this year and proudly represented Alberta in International competitions in Houston and at Legoland for the second year in a row?! You’ll be thrilled to know that the summer camps follow the same winning curriculum!

There are plenty of outdoor activities planned during JunioTech summer camps to keep kids active. Working parents would also appreciate free before and after camp care.

JunioTech Summer Camps:

The O’Rubiks Lego EV3 summer camp runs from July 9 – 13 & August 20 – 24, 2018. At this camp, kids will get to build a robot able to solve the popular Rubik’s cube puzzle. They will also learn how to solve a Rubik’s cube by hand and will even get to keep one. Kids will also spend time learning about robotics, and building and programming autonomous robots for the FLL official robotics game challenge! In this unique program, kids get access to 2 EV3 sets! This program is a prerequisite for joining JunioTech competitive FLL teams in the fall season and this year kids even get to sneak peek into the next 2018/19 FLL season’s FLL Field and missions, which will be all about Space.

Other amazing programs at JunioTech include Fun Python Coding with NAO robots. During the week of August 6 – 10, 2018, kids will learn a popular programming language that is relevant for robotics, web development, and many other applications. These cute, highly advanced NAO robots help teach kids Python coding in fun and creative way. Kids in this camp get to program NAO robots to act in a short comedy movie. Check out “Kids Chaos” series on JunioTech Youtube channel (www.youtube.com) and prepare to be amazed by kids’ talent revealed in this one of a kind program.

If your kids are excited about virtual reality and passionate about games, check out the Unity Game Design summer camp from July 16 – 20 and August 13 – 17, 2018. All kids have to bring is their creativity and Unity Game Design will combine visual and programming skills in computer science to build a whole new virtual world! Kids get to design and program games for VR glasses in this popular program.

From July 23 – 27, 2018, Fablab: 3D Printing & Prototyping is the summer camp that will introduce kids to the latest design and manufacturing technologies in an understandable, enjoyable way. Kids will learn 3D modelling & prototyping. They will design something really cool, fabricate it using 3D printing and CNC milling technology, and take their incredible creations home! Some cool projects in this very popular program include Fidget Spinners and custom made flash drives – imagination is their limit!

Don’t miss out! Small camp sizes and personalized instruction adds value for the kids, but it also means the camps sell out quickly, so check out what weeks are best for you. Come join the fun, high-energy, hands-on technology robotics & coding camps for kids this summer! You can also find lots of useful information about great robotics & other IQ boosting events for kids, such as JunioTech Mobile App Development Hackathon, on the Facebook page www.facebook.com.

See you this summer!
