Web Weavers (Years 5–6) – Four full-days

Step into real competition robotics, building and coding your own robot on the VEX IQ platform. Over four days, students build a competition robot, write their first autonomous code, and compete in a full tournament playing Web Attack, a custom game designed by Barker Robotics. With alliance matches, finals, and awards, students get an authentic taste of competitive robotics and the engineering thinking that guides success.

The Web Weavers group starts at 9am, and is located at the Junior School Robotics Lab (above the Junior School Library). Pickup time is 4pm. Students should bring their own morning tea and lunch, and will be given breaks during the sessions to eat.

Spiderlings (Years 3–4) – Two full-days

A hands-on introduction to engineering for students ready to design, build, and compete. Across the camp, students design and construct their own VEX GO robot, learn to drive and program it, and put their engineering skills to the test in Web Run, a custom game challenge designed by Barker Robotics. Students develop the essential STEM and problem-solving skills that come from building, testing, and improving a robot of their own, finishing with a timed competition that families are welcome to watch.

The Spiderlings group starts at 9am, and is located at the Junior School Robotics Lab (above the Junior School Library). Pickup time is 4pm. Students should bring their own morning tea and lunch, and will be given breaks during the sessions to eat.

Hatchlings (Years 1–2) – Two half-days

A gentle first taste of competition robotics for our youngest students. Children build, program, and drive LEGO Spike Essential robots through a series of themed challenges, building the digital literacy and computational thinking skills that set them up for the years ahead. The camp runs as the Critter Cup, a fun and friendly league where every child scores points, gets a taste of challenge-based learning, and earns a trophy.

The Hatchlings group starts at 9am ,and is located at the Junior School Robotics Lab (above the Junior School Library). Pickup time is 12pm.
