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 below, and some activities, like 3D printing and arcade builds, depend on the equipment at this venue.
Tell us what your child is hoping to do on the Before camp form straight after 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.

Common questions
What times do camps run at Tudor Grange Academy Kingshurst?
10am to 2pm. Drop-off opens 15 minutes before your session starts. The exact days are shown while you book (currently Mon to Thu, 26 to 29 Oct).
What ages can attend?
Tudor Grange Academy Kingshurst takes ages 6 to 17. Children are grouped by age so every child works with kids at their level.
How do free HAF places work?
The Holiday Activities and Food programme funds free places for children who receive benefits-related free school meals. Your child needs a valid HAF code from the council or their school, and must live or attend school in the Solihull council area. Book with the green Book HAF place button and enter the code.
Is lunch provided?
Lunch is provided. Every HAF place includes a hot meal, fruit and vegetables. Tell us about allergies and dietary needs on the Before camp form straight after you book.
What should my child bring?
Lunch is provided, so no packed lunch is needed. Just comfortable clothes, a named water bottle and curiosity. All tech equipment, laptops, kits and materials are provided. Please apply sun cream before drop-off on warm days and send a hat: groups spend time outdoors, and camps may include a short supervised walk to a local park.
Do the children ever leave the venue?
Sometimes. Camps may include a short, supervised walk to a local park or green space, with staff walking alongside the group the whole way. Not every venue does this, and it depends on the day and the weather. We ask your permission on the Before camp form straight after you book, and children who are not taking part stay at the venue with a member of staff. You can change your answer at any time from your booking page, including during the camp.
