iD Tech is the official education partner of BattleBots®, offering a unique learning experience where students build and battle their own robots.
At iD Tech Robotics Camps at Stanford University, kids and teens engage in hands-on robotics engineering using the VEX Robotics system. Campers learn to build, program, and battle their own robots, culminating in BattleBots®-style competitions. They gain practical skills in mechanical engineering principles, C++ coding for robot controls, and 3D printing for custom parts and armor. The curriculum emphasizes the engineering process, from brainstorming and design to construction, testing, and redesign. Beyond technical skills, students develop problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and confidence in a fun, collaborative environment. The camp blends intensive lab work with traditional summer camp activities, offering a well-rounded experience on a prestigious university campus.
A typical day starts with check-in and icebreakers, followed by focused coursework in robotics. After lunch in a campus dining hall, students return to the labs for more instruction and project work, with breaks for outdoor activities and games.
This camp is ideal for kids and teens aged 7-17 with a curiosity for technology and a willingness to learn, who are interested in hands-on robotics, coding, and engineering.
