Star Kids Robotics

Star Kids Robotics is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit robotics education organization based in Cupertino, California. With over 11 years of robotics education experience in Silicon Valley and 28 years of working with children, we have served more than 4,000 families across the Bay Area. Our summer camps are hands-on, engaging, and designed for beginners through intermediate learners in grades 1-6, ages 5-13. No prior experience is required.

We offer 8 uniquely themed weeks of robotics summer camps in Cupertino running June 8 through August 7, 2026, Monday through Friday, 9am to 3pm. Each week features a different theme giving campers the opportunity to explore robotics from multiple exciting angles.

Intro to Robotics (June 8-12) is the perfect starting point for young innovators. Campers build and program their own robots from the ground up, learning how to use sensors, motors, and gyroscopes while developing coding skills and teamwork. This camp is ideal for first-time robotics students and returning campers who want to strengthen their foundation.

Robot Gaming 1.0 (June 15-19) combines the excitement of gaming with real world robotics. Campers program robots to compete in challenges and games, developing strategy, coding logic, and competitive problem solving skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Agricultural Robotics (June 22-26) explores how robots are changing the future of farming and food production. Campers discover how automation, sensors, and programming are being used in agriculture and apply those concepts to build and program their own agricultural robots.

CarBots (July 6-10) puts kids in the driver seat as they design, build, and program their own robotic vehicles. Campers learn about motion, navigation, and autonomous driving concepts while engineering robots that move, turn, and respond to their environment.

BattleBots (July 13-17) is one of our most popular and exciting themes. Inspired by the hit TV show, campers build combat-ready robots and compete in structured battles. This week focuses on engineering design, structural integrity, and strategic programming in a high energy competitive format.

AniBots (July 20-24) brings animals to life through robotics. Campers build and program robots inspired by animals in nature, learning about biomechanics, movement, and how engineers look to the natural world for inspiration in robot design.

Robotics Extravaganza (July 27-31) is our ultimate celebration of everything robotics. Campers rotate through multiple platforms and challenges in a showcase format, applying everything they have learned across different themes and competing in a final robot showcase.

Robot Gaming 2.0 (August 3-7) takes everything from Robot Gaming 1.0 and kicks it up a notch with more advanced challenges, new game formats, and increased competition. This week is perfect for campers who attended Robot Gaming 1.0 or have prior robotics experience.

All camps run Monday through Friday, 9am to 3pm at 10181 Finch Ave, Cupertino, CA 95014. Sessions are kept small to ensure every student gets individual attention. Price is $450 per week. Scholarships are available for qualifying families.

Star Kids Robotics is committed to making quality robotics education accessible to every child in Silicon Valley regardless of background or experience level. Our NGSS and ISTE aligned curriculum is developed in house and taught across multiple state of the art robotics platforms.
