iD Tech is the official education partner of BattleBots, offering an exclusive curriculum that combines engineering craftsmanship with the excitement of a robotics championship.
In iD Tech Camps' Robotics Engineering with VEX program at MIT, kids and teens delve into the exciting world of robotics by building, battling, and engineering their own BattleBots champions. Participants gain hands-on experience wiring chassis, programming controls, and designing custom attachments like claw arms or 3D-printed armor. The curriculum is designed to foster STEM skill development through project-based learning, allowing students to create a functional VEX robot. Beyond technical skills, the camp emphasizes collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking in a fun, engaging environment. Students will also explore the MIT campus, gaining a taste of collegiate life and inspiring their future academic and career paths in STEM.
A typical day includes morning announcements and icebreakers, followed by focused coursework in small groups. After lunch in the campus dining hall, students return for more instruction, with breaks for outdoor activities, board games, and other recreational fun.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students (ages 13-17) who are interested in robotics, engineering, and hands-on building, from beginners to those with some programming experience.
