Hands-on building, coding and making. Kids leave with something they made themselves.
Build something real every day
From robot battles to 3D-printed creations, every session is hands-on and project-driven. Robocoders rotate through activities including robotics, electronics, AI, game dev and mechanical engineering, and finish the day with something they built themselves.

What to Expect
What your child will do
Every camp runs robotics and coding. The rest changes between camps on purpose, so a child who comes back gets something new. That means one week will not cover everything on this page, and some activities, like 3D printing and arcade builds, depend on the equipment at your venue.
Tell us what your child is hoping to do when you book and we will do our best to build it into the week.
Robotics
Build, program and battle autonomous robots using competition-grade kits. From sensor arrays to motor control, Robocoders learn real engineering.
Game Development
Design characters, build levels and code game logic. Robocoders create a playable game using industry-standard tools and creative problem solving.
3D Printing
Sketch it, model it, print it. Robocoders design in CAD software and watch their creations come to life on our Bambu Lab printers. Printing depends on the kit at your venue and the week you book.
Electronics
Wire circuits, connect sensors and program microcontrollers. Hands-on Arduino projects that light up, move and respond to the real world.
AI & Cyber Security
Understand the tech shaping the world. Hands-on AI projects and cyber security challenges, not just theory.
Physical Activity
Movement, games and active play to keep energy up between sessions. Table tennis, team challenges and more.
Hot meal + fruit & veg
Nutritious lunch (subject to availability)
All equipment included
Laptops, kits and materials

Holiday camps across England
Robocode runs school holiday camps for children aged 6 to 17 across England, with venues in Birmingham, Solihull, Walsall, Liverpool and Leicester. Every camp day is hands on: kids code their own games, build and battle robots, design 3D prints and get active between sessions, all led by DBS Enhanced checked mentors.
Free places are funded by the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme for children who receive benefits-related free school meals. Paid places start from £20, and we accept tax-free childcare and childcare vouchers. Robocode is Ofsted registered, so camp days work as holiday childcare for working parents as well as a day of real building for the kids.
