About This Topic

BattleBots® Camp in your living room! That’s right, we’ve taken our most popular camp for 3 years running and transformed it into our dynamic private lessons experience. As the official education partner of BattleBots®, iD Tech is making it possible to design, build, and take on challenges with your very own VEX robot—all at home. With 1-on-1 coaching, your child will explore robotics principles, build a foundation of critical skills like problem-solving and creativity, and construct an at-home bot to tackle unique, tailor-made challenges. 

Note: All packs include a VEX bot (valued at $479), sent to your home. This is your child’s to keep, allowing for endless redesigns, rebuilds, and robot evolution long after the lessons end. 

You'll learn to:

  • Build a custom robot with VEX IQ hardware
  • Learn how the pros build BattleBots® champions
  • Explore mechanical engineering principles
  • Complete BattleBots®-inspired challenges

Course Format 

Each of your four, one-hour sessions is led by a top USA-based instructor who tailors content to your child’s unique interests and skill level. Upon purchasing, you’ll schedule your 60-minute lessons by selecting an instructor, date, and time that works best for you. When it's time for the lesson, your child will connect with their instructor via Zoom. 

Why this lesson? Robotics is an integral part of cutting-edge careers like aerospace engineering, computer science, and hardware design.

FAQ

VEX is a popular, exciting, robotics platform designed for teens to build a wide variety of robots. Features includes sensors, which gather information for the robot, and motors, which allow users to create moving parts, like wheels and claw arms. 

Robotics is an integral part of cutting-edge careers like aerospace engineering, computer science, and hardware design. If your child loves to tinker and would enjoy learning about STEM in a concrete way, their new robotics project could be just the thing to help them envision a future in one of these professions.

And then of course there are the “soft skills” that go along with advancing as a young robotics engineer.

Think about, for instance, the perseverance it takes to patiently and meticulously assemble a piece of hardware or the problem-solving necessary to program a robot to complete an obstacle course. These skills are essential not only in the STEM world, but in the working world as a whole. 

All packs include a VEX bot (valued at $479), sent to your home. This is your child’s to keep, allowing for endless redesigns, rebuilds, and robot evolution long after the lessons end.

Here is a quote from a parent whose son recently completed our Blender online lessons:

"My 12-year-old son recently completed a 3D modeling lesson using Blender through iD Tech, and the experience was exceptional. His instructor, Izzy, demonstrated remarkable teaching skills, adeptly tailoring the session to my son's individual knowledge level and learning needs. The lesson maintained a fun and engaging atmosphere throughout, leaving my son inspired and eager to further explore Blender's incredible functionalities. I highly recommend iD Tech and Izzy for anyone seeking quality tech education for their children!"
