Info. Regarding what a typical camp session looks like is below: 

The Minnesota Robotics Institute is hosting a Technology Day Camp for students entering grades 6th through 8th. Participants will learn about robots and robotic technology through fun, hands-on activities. They will also practice STEM skills, including soldering, electronic circuit design, 2D computer-aided design, computer programming, and oral presentations.

Attending this camp is free. A registration link will be available on March 1 at 10 a.m. However, we can only accept 30 kids at this time. 

We ask that students who have previously participated refrain from registering again, as our activities remain unchanged, so new students can experience the camp.  

Tentative Summer 2026 Date: August 3-5, 2026

Registration is currently closed and will open on March 1, 2026, at 10 am.
