See what they’ll actually be doing.

Coding, robotics, engineering, science, game design, and 3D design — explained lab by lab, not just teased. Ages 5–15, self-paced, with guidance from the RunTheCode team.

Coding

Kids write real code and build real projects — one guided step at a time, at whatever pace fits them. No experience is assumed going in.

Robotics

Kids design, assemble, and troubleshoot real robotics builds — testing, adjusting, and testing again until it actually moves the way they intended.

Engineering

Kids solve real structural problems with real materials — wood, motors, gears — figuring out by hand what holds, what moves, and what needs rebuilding.

Recent builds have included working catapults and load-bearing bridge structures.

Science

Kids run hands-on experiments — real safety practice included — turning a question into something they can actually observe and test.

Game Design

Kids design their own playable game from the ground up — dragging real code blocks together until an idea on paper actually plays.

3D Design / 3D Printing

Kids sketch an idea, model it, and print it — leaving with a real physical object they designed themselves.

These labs are offered a few different ways.

Tech Summer Camp
A full week of hands-on labs during the summer break.
Afterschool Coding & Robotics Club
Weekly sessions that build skill over the course of the school year.
Homeschool STEM Lab
A flexible weekday option built for homeschool families.
