Tech Trek Summer Camp
Brandeis Innovation & Leadership Camp
Ignite curiosity. Build skills. Shape the future.
Enroll your child in a camp where STEM meets creativity, leadership, and global citizenship! Designed for kids aged 6–12, our Innovation & Leadership Camp blends cutting-edge technology with hands-on projects to inspire tomorrow’s problem-solvers.
Campers explore drones, robotics, 3D printing, along with learning the fundamentals while learning teamwork, ethical innovation, and leadership skills. From coding drones for missions to printing prosthetic hands for children in need (via E-Nable), every activity connects learning to real-world impact.
Highlights:
-
Collaborative STEM Projects: Build scribble bots, pilot drones, and learn and make 3D-printed prosthetics.
-
Leadership Training: Kids lead team challenges, present projects, and practice peer mentorship.
-
Campus Exploration: Field trips to the Brandeis MakerLab, Science Labs, and Observatory.
-
1:6 Teacher Ratio: Gerry Gagnon (Newton South STEAM Chair), with expert educators like Ian Roy (Director of the MakerLab) guiding every step.
