Location: Boyce Middle School LGI

Date: July 20-24, 2026

Time: 12pm - 4pm Daily

Camp Cost & Length: Only $100 for 5 days!

Click here to register your student for camp: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/terabridges-xrp-robotics-camp

Campers will work with Upper St. Clair High School robotics students and mentors to build, code, test, and improve robots using the XRP robotics platform. Throughout the week, students will learn Python programming, engineering design, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills through project-based, hands-on activities.

This camp is taught by Upper St. Clair High School’s FIRST Tech Challenge robotics team, TeraBridges. TeraBridges has competed at the FIRST World Championship and recently won an international Premier Event. The camp is designed to be an accessible entry point to robotics for younger students and a pathway into FIRST programs, including FTC at the high school level. Learn more about our team: www.ftc18603.org

The camp has limited spots to keep the camper to mentor ratio low, so please register early to secure your campers spot.
