Where Does Your Child Fit in at BadgerBots?

BadgerBots offers a wide range of STEAM programs for kids in grades K-12 designed to match their age and interests. From week-long, half-day summer camps and one-day workshops to months-long competitive youth robotics teams, we provide engaging and age-appropriate experiences. Our camps and workshops are led by a dedicated team of instructors, including college students—many of whom were once BadgerBots campers and robotics team members themselves. We also offer opportunities for students in grades 8 and up to develop leadership and communication skills as they grow into future instructors, continuing the cycle of learning and mentorship.
