Campers will build and program functional robots using the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime kits. Students will begin by building a basic robot equipped with programmable sensors. Then, students can let their imagination soar as they adapt their robots to complete a variety of challenges including a line-following challenge, climb-the-mountain challenge, and everyone’s favorite, the sumo ring tournament!

Board your airships and jettison the ballast! Join in the fight to save a dystopian realm and create beautiful and imaginative kinetic sculptures that tell your hero’s tale. Immerse yourself in a world of gears, gadgets, and gizmos as you explore the exciting world of steampunk. In this immersive week-long camp, participants in grades 8 - 12 will be introduced to the engineering design process while they learn and use basic science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) concepts to construct their own steampunk-themed automata.
Do you love sports and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)? Learn how to calculate your own field goal percentage, just like the greatest players in the NBA! This camp includes activities in Basketball, Football, Soccer and Volleyball!

Dungeons and Dragons is not just a game - there is so much more! DnD is a tabletop RPG (role playing game) that incorporates imagination, storytelling, problem solving, and action. Campers will spend the week experiencing a mini campaign of Dungeons and Dragons. Along the way they will learn to tell stories, solve problems collaboratively and create dynamic characters. They will create maps, character development and best of all, make new friends to interact with playing this strategy game!
During the week campers will learn about ethical hacking and penetration testing, cryptography and social engineering. All of this will be taught and tested in a secure cyber range. This is a great chance to see what all the hype is about Cyber Security and how you could make a career in this exciting field!
This special camp will blend some of the topics from many of our camps to allow girls to focus on the scientific method and design processes, while learning about women STEM role models and the psychology behind the gender “gap” in STEM fields.
In this exciting hands-on, day camp for high schoolers, participants will be introduced to the principles of robot design through origami -- the art of paper folding -- to prototype, ideate, and get a hands-on sense of the physics of robots. Participants will learn: (1) how to use the biological world as a source of inspiration for designing robots, and how to translate those principles into a set of engineering design goals; (2) how to ideate, prototype, and synthesize robotic devices through folded mechanisms, and how force, torque, and motion can be tuned through these structures to make robots move better; (3) Coding a microcontroller to generate motion with an RC servo-motor; and (4) how to take real-world data from a foldable robot and use physical models to improve robot performance. This week-long, hands-on, project-based approach will emphasize problem identification, brainstorming, problem solving, rapid prototyping, teamwork, and communication. The camp will culminate with a final build -- that students can program to move through the environment -- along with an exposition for parents. For more info, contact danaukes@asu.edu
The Digital Culture Summer Institute is our long-standing summer program on ASU’s Tempe campus for students in 6th-12th grades to take classes in digital media, arts, and technology. Week-long, project-focused classes are taught by faculty and graduate students.
