Robotics Summer Camp
Rutherford, NJ
Kids don't just learn about robots here — they build them. From Sumo Bot battles for younger campers to advanced engineering labs for teens, every robotics camp ends with a robot your child designed, programmed, and competed with.
Choose the Right Robotics Camp by Age
Sumo Bots — Design, Print & Battle Your Robot
Get ready to build, design, and battle your own robot in this high-energy camp!
Young engineers start from scratch — designing their own robots to compete in Sumo Bot battles. Using motors and sensors, campers build a battle-ready bot and face off against teammates by end of week.
- Design a robot from scratch using motors and sensors
- Work with teammates to test and refine designs
- Compete in friendly Sumo Bot battles on Friday
Robot Engineers — Design, Print & Dominate the Arena
Unleash your inner engineer and build the ultimate battle bot!
A step up in complexity and competition. Campers engineer advanced robots with custom features and programming, then put them to the test in high-stakes Sumo Bot tournaments.
- Build robots with powerful motors, sensors, and custom features
- Work in teams to engineer battle-ready bots with unique strategies
- Compete in Sumo Bot tournaments and refine based on results
Robotics Innovation Lab — Engineering & Assistive Robotics
Step into a real robotics R&D lab!
The most advanced robotics experience at Code Wiz. Using LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and Python, teens explore how engineers design robots that help people in the real world — gearboxes, torque, load, and sensor-driven automation.
- Explore mechanical engineering: gearboxes, torque, load, and structural design
- Use Python to program event-based commands and sensor feedback
- Build prototypes inspired by assistive robotics and real-world engineering
Why Families Choose Code Wiz
Hands-On from Day One
Campers are building and testing from the first hour — not watching lectures or working through worksheets.
Real Engineering Concepts
Sensors, motors, structural design, and iteration — the same principles real engineers use.
Code Meets Hardware
Programming robots makes code tangible. Kids see and feel what their code does in real time.
1:6 Coach Ratio
Small groups mean every camper gets individual guidance and support throughout the week.
Ends with Competition
Every robotics camp ends with a tournament or showcase — real stakes, real excitement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need any robotics or coding experience?
No experience needed for Sumo Bots or Robot Engineers — coaches start from the beginning. The Robotics Innovation Lab is designed for teens who want a more advanced experience; prior coding experience is helpful but not required.
What equipment do you use?
We provide all equipment. Sumo Bots and Robot Engineers use motors and sensors. The Robotics Innovation Lab uses the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime system with Python programming. Campers do not need to bring anything.
Is there an actual competition?
Yes — every robotics camp ends with a tournament or showcase where campers put their robots to the test against each other. It's friendly, exciting, and one of the highlights of the week.
My child is 9 — Sumo Bots or Robot Engineers?
Robot Engineers (ages 9–14) is the better fit. It's more technically challenging and involves more programming alongside the build. Sumo Bots is designed specifically for the younger age group (6–8).
