Robotics, coding and 3D printing in Solihull
Give your child a holiday to remember at Robocode Solihull - Afternoon Teen Club. Every day is hands on: they build robots, code their own games, design 3D prints and take home what they make. Sessions run in small groups by age, led by DBS checked mentors who love this stuff as much as the kids do.
Everything is included, from laptops to robot kits, so they just turn up and create. You pick the exact days that suit your family, and free HAF funded places are available for eligible children. Places are capped at 20 children a day, so the group stays small and every child gets real attention.
What your child will do
Every camp runs robotics and coding. Some activities, like 3D printing and arcade builds, vary by venue and depend on the equipment on site.
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, take it home. Robocoders design in CAD software and watch their creations come to life on our Bambu Lab printers.
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.
