Summer Camps in the SF Bay Area
Join us for small-group Summer Camps in the San Francisco Bay Area starting June 9th, 2025.
Our teachers mentor students, ages 5-13, in LEGO Design & Engineering, Robotics,
and Minecraft & Roblox adventures.
We've been teaching tech to students since 1994, and love creating new curriculum each year. We offer unique camps with custom-designed curriculum.
Our LEGO camps feature using gears and motors to design creatures and vehicles, as well as a robotics camp where students build and program bots to compete in fun challenges.
Our Minecraft camps range from beginner level to more advanced with use of redstone and command block coding. The Roblox and Minecraft Modding camp offers an introduction into designing 3d models and games.
Coding is a part of most of our camps, including LEGO Spark Camp, Girls Tech Academy, Intermediate Minecraft, Robotics, and Roblox. Scratch is used in most of these camps to design games with code blocks.
As important as the curriculum is, creating a comfortable and fun environment for students to learn and express their creativity is what TechKnowHow camps is all about!
Technology and LEGO® Camps
SUMMER REGISTRATION
is now open!
Summer 2025
LEGO Pokemon Party
Develop LEGO building and engineering skills in an immersive LEGO Pokemon experience! Use gears, battery packs and motors to build favorite characters, like the adorable Pikachu, the powerful Charizard, and the legendary Mewtwo! Then, combine robotic sensors with LEGO elements to make controllers that you attach to a computer to play Pokemon-themed adventures.
Pokemon-themed LEGO® Projects with Motor Power
LEGO Spark Camp
A fun and exciting way for LEGO fans to discover unique engineering skills with gear trains, pistons, and light bricks to make spectacular motor-powered creations. Build a jousting knight, “swimming” dolphin, a sleek remote-controlled space jet, hyper-active gearbot and more! Then, embark on a coding adventure as you use programming blocks to complete computer games with Scratch, the #1 beginner-level coding software for kids.
LEGO Engineering & Coding Intro
Minecraft & LEGO Builders
Perfect for campers who love LEGOs and Minecraft! Every day begins with bringing Minecraft to life with awesome motorized LEGO builds- from player characters such as Steve to zooming Creepers to the terrifying Warden! Then, get into the action with Minecraft and build projects such as cozy tree houses and fancy ponds, dragon-themed Nether Portals and lava gates, giant lollipops and gingerbread mansions, and classic TNT cannons and starter mob commands. Something new each day for builders of every experience!
Minecraft-themed LEGO® Builds & Minecraft Game Projects
Intermediate Minecraft
Delve deep into Minecraft's coding and engineering systems to build and program a city! Redstone will make every build dynamic, commands will customize the game experience from mob loot to jobs and currency, and structure blocks will give our city animated artwork and the buildings to fill it out! Also, create Minecraft-inspired games to play with Scratch, learning block coding fundamentals and the basics of computer science. Prerequisite: Experience with Minecraft, keyboard use, grade-level reading.
Coding & Game-Making
Girls Tech Academy
Led by female instructors, this camp develops your coding and LEGO engineering skills through exciting projects and game-making. Create motorized LEGO projects such as a “swimming” dolphin, city emergency vehicle, fantasy creatures and more! Then, make games by coding with Scratch, the world's most popular intro programming software. Scratch uses code blocks to easily control all the elements of your games - from character movement to score-keeping. You'll design 3 games while learning the fundamentals of coding logic and use of loops and if-then events.
LEGO® Engineering & Game Coding
Robotics & Game-Making
Get ready to build robots with personalities! You’ll build and program LEGO EV3 robots with expressions, speech and movement. They’ll dance, take part in arena contests, play games, and interact with you! You’ll learn to program motors and sensors, and add expressive elements. Plus, learn coding skills with Scratch, as we spend afternoons designing a variety of robot-themed games, using code blocks to maneuver craft, fight off waves of alien bots, and more!
Personal Robots & Games
Roblox & Minecraft Mods
Create immersive 3D-worlds and games to play! In Roblox, design towns, spooky mazes that players must escape, obbies, player powerups, and more. Learn to create your own terrain, modify light and particles, create NPCs with dialogue, and even learn to make code snippets using Lua! Complete a variety of projects which can be published on Roblox and played with friends online! In the afternoon with Blockbench, students will learn to use 3D modeling and coding to insert their own mobs and custom items into Minecraft!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Lisa S
"My 7 year old son just completed the LEGO camp. It was fantastic! Well organized, very engaging and the instructor was supportive of my son's desires to share with the class throughout the session. First thing my son asked after class on Friday, "can I do that again?""
Sanem E.
"This is by far the best coding program! My kids learned a lot in their coding camps and developed further interest in coding."
Serena E.
"The camps have been fantastic. Kevin, Tenzin, and Elias are really great. Their patience with kids and making sure all the kids are able to participate is truly amazing."
