What to Expect
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.

Holiday camps across England
Robocode runs school holiday camps for children aged 6 to 17 across England, with venues in Birmingham, Solihull and Walsall. 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.
