This program focuses on exploring the globe and its nations through art, cooking, dance, sports, music and brain-building activities like chess and science projects.

Brooklyn Robot Foundry Adds New Options — Tribeca, Park Slope
72 Warren Street in Tribeca or 303 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn
June 13 through September 2
Ages 6 to 13
Got a maker in your brood? This super-cool, hands-on summer camp from Brooklyn Robot Foundry is a no-brainer, offering firsthand experience with electronics, engineering and robotics. Each week, kids tackle exciting engineering concepts as they make (and take home) their own inventions. This summer, the Foundry has two new offerings. Robot Programmer teaches kids to program using CREATE Lab’s new Hummingbird Robotics Kit. This program is for rising fourth through seventh graders and does not require any programming experience. Robot Inventor, on the other hand, requires at least two prior weeks of summer sessions at the school or a semester of their afterschool program in the 2015/2016 year. Here, rising second graders and above can build any robotic thing they choose over the course of their program. One other highlight worth mentioning: Last year, the Foundry's Brooklyn location offered a "girls only week" and it was so popular, it's now being offered at both locations this summer! The projects are the same as the coed group, just all girls. How’s that for an awesome summer adventure?
