About Summer Robotics

REGISTRATION FOR THE 2026 PROGRAM WILL OPEN FEBRUARY 26TH AT 7:00 AM

During this week-long program, students will learn how to build and program Lego Spike robots, working collaboratively in small groups with coaching from the Shrewsbury High School Robotics Team. Students will participate in a variety of other group activities throughout the week, including building and launching their own model rocket! All activities teach students about teamwork, compromise, success, failure and more. They will have fun in the process and learn valuable teamworking skills.

Grades: For students CURRENTLY in grades 3-7 (entering grades 4-8 in the fall of 2026)
Location: Shrewsbury High School
Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:30-3:30
Cost: $320 per week. Class fees are non-refundable
Four sessions to choose from:

  • July 6-10
  • July 13-17
  • July 20-24
  • July 27-31

Due to the repetitive nature of each week's program, we recommend that first-time participants only register for one session. Experienced participants who know what to expect are welcome to register for more than one week.

Students should bring a lunch from home Monday-Thursday. On Friday, we provide the students with a pizza lunch and this is included in the price. During Friday afternoon the students compete against the other teams using the Lego Robots they have been building during the week. This competition is based on the FIRST Lego League competition from the preceding season. Parents are invited to come and watch this.

IMPORTANT: Class fees are non-refundable

A 50% deposit is required at the time of registration and the balance will be automatically charged to your card on June 2nd. If you cancel prior to June 2nd, you will not be charged the remaining balance, but your deposit will not be refunded.
