February Half-Term STEM & LEGO Robotics Camp
in South East London
Join us for an exciting 3-day adventure where children explore science, technology, creativity and performance,
all through hands-on LEGO Robotics and STEM experiments.
Each day brings a new challenge — come for one, or experience the whole journey.
Designed for curious minds aged 6–11.
Day 1 – Tuesday 17th February
Secret Agents & Spy Tech
LEGO Robotics • Coding Basics • Systems Engineering
Welcome to the world of secret agents, where clever thinking and smart technology are the most powerful tools of all.
On this exciting day, children become junior secret agents, using LEGO Robotics to design and build intelligent machines that protect information, detect movement and solve hidden challenges. Through hands-on engineering and playful problem-solving, they will explore how real-world security systems work and how engineers design technology to keep people and places safe.
Children will:
Build sensor-based alarm systems and detection devices
Design secure doors and locking mechanisms
Create code-breaking and signal-based challenges
Learn how sensors, motors and simple coding work together
Take part in team missions that develop logical thinking and problem-solving
Day 2 – Wednesday 18th February
Explorers & Adventurers
LEGO Robotics • Geography • History • Storytelling
Pack your bags — we’re going on an adventure!
Children will step into the shoes of explorers and adventurers, travelling across oceans, deserts, mountains and polar regions. Through LEGO Robotics challenges, they will design and build machines that help explorers overcome obstacles, transport supplies and navigate unfamiliar environments.
Children will:
- Build exploration vehicles, ships and adventure machines
- Learn about continents, oceans and extreme environments
- Discover real explorers from history and across cultures
- Solve engineering challenges linked to navigation and survival
- Create and share their own adventure stories
This day encourages curiosity about the world, teamwork and problem-solving, all wrapped in an exciting narrative journey.
Day 3 – Thursday 19th February
Mythical Creatures & Legends
LEGO Robotics • Creative Engineering • Stop-Motion Animation
What if myths came to life through engineering?
On our most imaginative day, children will design and build mythical creatures inspired by legends from around the world, from dragons and sea monsters to magical guardians. They will then bring their creations to life using stop-motion animation, combining engineering with storytelling and digital creativity.
Children will:
- Design and build moving mythical creatures using LEGO
- Explore simple mechanisms for motion, wings, jaws and limbs
- Learn the basics of stop-motion animation
- Create short animated scenes and stories
- Develop confidence in creative expression and teamwork
This day blends engineering with art, myth and technology, perfect for children who love to imagine, design and create.
