What do you get when you add LEGO® and computers? You get this unique CAD & Programming camp! The week will be spent learning about the two major functions of computers in Engineering: Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Programming. In the CAD part of the camp, campers will learn to 3D-model their dream LEGO® inventions in virtual space using the LEGO® Digital Designer software. At the end of the week we will email all the model files to you, along with a copy of LEGO® Digital Designer for your home PC. Now the little CAD Masters will be able to keep the inventions coming at home, without ever running out of pieces. Using laptop computers, we will build cool and complex machines and construct vast virtual worlds. In the Robotics part of the camp, we will learn to construct and program various very cool robots. Using familiar parts like motors and gears, along with some new parts like the NXT/Mindstorms® sensors and programmable brick, we will discover a new world of automation where machines play music, draw pictures, solve mazes, and even play games, all on their own!

Child must complete a Level 1 camp before registering for this Level 2 camp.
This is the perfect camp for first-time Lego© Engineers or any campers new to BrickLab360 summer camps. In this fun, Basic-to-Intermediate course, we will be building cars, motorcycles, construction equipment, walking robots, zip line vehicles, and other cool machinery.

This course covers all the engineering principles included in our "The World of LEGO®" course, without the "high-octane" atmosphere which can sometimes accompany little boys at play. :)
Attention, attention! Calling all Jedi Mechanics! The rebels need your Engineering skills to help fight the Empire.Recruits will be building tanks, droids, dune buggies, and speeder bikes. You'll also be trained on captured machines like AT-AT, AT-ST, AT-TE walkers, and all kinds of tanks, turrets, and even a bomber or two.
Just like the heroes from our favorite movie, in this "robot garage" theme camp, we will be building almost every kind of bot imaginable. "Bot Fighting is illegal"... but not at BrickLab360 camps. Our week will be filled with roller skating smash-droids, disk-launching automatons, tread-bots, and maybe, just maybe, our inflatable BFF will "pop" by.
This is where the bravest LEGO® Gladiators come to do battle. We learn, we build, we SMASH, we shake hands. From Bot Boxing and BrickJitsu to Bowling and Foosball, from Demolition Derbies to Off-Road Motocross - how can this much fun be so educational?
The legend goes that a long time ago when the stormy waters of San Francisco Bay stretched as far south as Port Los Gatos, the seas were ruled by pirates... LEGO® Pirates! How did they navigate the treacherous waves of Silicon Bay? They mastered the technologies behind sailboats, speedboats, catamarans, amphibious vehicles, and even submarines!
This is a course for the most experienced LEGO® Engineers. Has your camper visited the World of LEGO®? Have they emerged victorious from Battle Arena, or found their way back from "a galaxy far, far away"? Then they are ready to become a LEGO® Master! Each day of this camp will bring something new: Robotic arms, complex mechanisms, challenges like "Can a LEGO® build a LEGO®?, and large-scale systems like a multi-level train set with rail switches, track elevators, and curved rails constructed using straight pieces. How? With magic! ... and LEGO®. OK, mostly LEGO®. :)
