So what is this?

The FIRST Canada Virtual March Break Camps are robotics and coding camps grounded in fundamentals of problem solving, Gracious Professionalism, and fun! More specifically our camps are about…

Block Coding

With a simple to use block coding interface, FTC SIM, we will teach the principles of variables and robot coding. This interface is great for beginners and individuals with previous experience

Problem Solving 

With our camps, students will tackle problems related to goal-based robot movement and distance sensors. We encourage students to find unique solutions by allowing plenty of time to work out problems on their own and with the aid of their instructors.
