Build It. Code It. Make It Move.

A five-day maker camp where kids design and build their own moving vehicles — then write the code that controls them.

Spots are limited to 24 campers.

Reserve yours before they're gone.

Where Every Curious Kid Belongs

Does your kid love taking things apart to see how they work? Do they spend hours building elaborate contraptions out of whatever's nearby? STEAM Design in Motion Camp is made for them.

Over five days at the LEMO Maker Studio, campers ages 8–12 design and build their own vehicles using LEGO Education kits, 3D design tools, vinyl stickers, and cardboard. They don't just build — they think like designers. Using the same maker-centered thinking routines that real engineers use, campers ask: What are the parts? What do they do? How do they work together? Then they build, test, break things, and redesign.

No prior experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to try things.

What Your Camper Will Do:

1.

Build a vehicle from

LEGO Education kits

2.

Write code that controls it — including autonomous driving

3.

Design custom vinyl stickers

and 3D-printed parts

4.

Follow a real engineering design cycle from sketch to showcase

5.

Race, test, and demo their creation on Friday for friends and family

Meet Robert

Robert Wachtel Pronovost, PhD

Stanford-trained learning scientist and maker educator with nearly two decades of experience designing hands-on learning for kids

Robert founded one of the first makerspaces in a Title I public school in the nation and has spent his career figuring out what it looks like when every kid — regardless of background or experience level — gets to build, tinker, and create.

Meet Shane

Shane Canekeratne

An industrial designer and creative strategist who taught himself CAD in high school out of sheer passion -- long before it was ever on a curriculum.

A graduate of Loughborough University's Industrial Design & Technology program, Shane has worked in product design at Apple, led design teams at a large-scale tech infrastructure company, and founded Gatsby's Garage, an automotive media brand focused on racing, engineering, and car culture.
